"The primary objective of the European System of Central Banks […] shall be to
maintain price stability".
It continues as follows: "Without prejudice to the objective of price stability, the
ESCB shall support the general economic policies in the Union with a view to
contributing to the achievement of the objectives of the Union as laid down in
Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union."
The European Union has multiple objectives (Article 3 of the Treaty on European
Union), which include the sustainable development of Europe based on balanced
economic growth and price stability, and a highly competitive social market
economy, aiming at full employment and social progress. Consequently, price
stability is not only the primary objective of the ECB’s monetary policy, but also an
objective of the European Union as a whole. Thus, the Treaty on the Functioning of
the European Union and the Treaty on European Union establish a clear hierarchy
of objectives for the Euro system, making it clear that price stability is the most
important contribution that monetary policy can make to achieving a favourable
economic environment and a high level of employment.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/europeanunionprcent2cpowerpointprcent2cyr1-1-170222120340/75/EUROPEAN-UNION-GUIDE-27-2048.jpg)
