Inflation Targets

Central Bank News publishes inflation targets for central banks as a complement to the Global Interest Rate Monitor (GIRM). Price stability is a common goal for central banks with some inflation targets set by governments while other targets are set by central banks. Other goals may include maximizing economic growth, optimal employment, exchange rate stability and financial stability. See Wikipedia entry on inflation targeting for a primer.
