AGS afskrifar evru fyrir Ísland

Alþjóða gjaldeyrissjóðurinn tekur undir óopinbera stefnu Seðlabanka Íslands um verðbólgumarmið plús, þ.e. verðbólgumarkmið með  viðbótum sem gætu tengst m.a. svokölluðum þjóðhagsvarúðartækjum, inngripum á gjaldeyrismarkaði og auknu samspili stefnunnar í peningamálum og stefnunnar í opinberum fjármálum.

Due consideration will also have to be paid to financial stability and macro-financial linkages. In this regard, macro-prudential tools and policies will be essential to supporting monetary policy going forward
