What does the NBU have to do with inflation and price stability?
According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the main function of the NBU is to ensure stability of the national currency, the hryvnia. According to the Law of Ukraine On the National Bank of Ukraine, in pursuing its main function, the NBU is primary responsible for achieving and maintaining price stability in Ukraine. In addition to this, the NBU also works to ensure financial stability (including the stability of the banking system) and to promote sustainable economic growth. However, these objectives are subordinated to the NBU’s primary commitment to ensure price stability.
Do central banks in other countries also care about inflation?
Yes, many central banks around the world prioritize price stability. This is especially true for central banks that follow an inflation targeting approach. These central banks set and publicly announce a clear quantitative benchmark for inflation – an inflation target – and use monetary tools to achieve it within a specified period.
