Card: Monetary Policy Report

Description:
Portada Publicación.
The main purpose of the Central Bank of Chile’s monetary policy is to keep inflation low and stable, defined as a range of 2% to 4% per annum, centered on 3%. Controlling inflation is the means by which monetary policy contributes to the population’s welfare. Low, stable inflation improves economic performance and growth, while preventing the erosion of personal income. Furthermore, monetary policy’s focus on inflation targeting helps to moderate fluctuations in employment and domestic output.
The main objectives of this Monetary Policy Report are: (i) to inform and explain to the general public the Board’s view of recent and expected inflation trends and their consequences for the conduction of monetary policy; (ii) to publicly explain the medium-term framework used by the Board of the Central Bank to formulate monetary policy; and (iii) to provide information that is useful in the formulation of economic agents’ expectations regarding future inflation and output trends.
