The Federal Reserve Board aims to limit inflation instability by targeting a stable inflation rate, typically around 2% annually. This helps maintain purchasing power and fosters predictable economic conditions, which are essential for consumer and business planning. By using tools like interest rate adjustments, the Fed seeks to mitigate extreme fluctuations in inflation, thereby promoting sustainable economic growth and employment. Such stability is crucial for maintaining confidence in the economy.
