The central bank of an economy operates under a mandate to keep the annual inflation rate 'below, but close to, 2.0%'. Under this framework, the central bank prioritises preventing inflation from falling below this level more than preventing it from slightly exceeding it, in order to avoid debt-deflation risks.
What is this policy framework an example of?
A conflict between macroeconomic policy objectives
A symmetric inflation target
An asymmetric inflation target
Indexation of monetary policy instruments
