Aspects and evolutions specific to monetary policy in Romania. A complex topical analysis

Abstract

Proactive forward-looking monetary policy aims to anchor inflation expectations and temper volatility generated by economic developments. The purpose of this article was to make an assessment of the inflation targeting strategy in Romania through an analysis of the evolution of the inflation rate in Romania, correlated with the inflation target, the evolution of the monetary policy interest rate and the economic growth rate. I believe that this topic is important, as in the contemporary economy, achieving a low level of inflation creates a new economic climate, which reconsiders the relationship between price stability and financial stability. These aspects ensure the psychological and material “comfort” of the population, which is currently in a phase of misinformation.
