Monetary Policy

Monetary policy is the process by which the monetary authority of a country, typically the central bank or currency board, controls the supply of money in the economy by its actions in the money market. The main objective of monetary policy is to maintain price stability in the economy. In other words, the central bank uses monetary policy to control inflation and avoid deflationary spirals.
