symmetric inflation objective

German translation: symmetrisches Inflationsziel

English term or phrase: symmetric inflation objective
The Federal Reserve left the federal funds target range unchanged at 2%-2.25%, but said that additional gradual increases would be “consistent with sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near its 2.0% ***symmetric inflation objective***.”

Vorläufige Lösung:

Die US-Notenbank beließ die Federal Funds Rate unverändert bei einer Spanne von 2%-2,25%, betonte jedoch, dass weitere allmähliche Zinserhöhungen „im Einklang mit einem nachhaltigen Wirtschaftswachstum, einem robusten Arbeitsmarkt und einer Inflationsrate nahe ihrem ***symmetrischen Zielwert*** von 2,0% stehen“.

Kann man das so sagen? Und was genau kann ich mir darunter vorstellen?

German translation:symmetrisches Inflationsziel
Explanation:
A symmetrical inflation target is a requirement placed on a central bank to respond when inflation is too low as well as when inflation is too high.

For example, the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada have symmetrical inflation targets. In contrast, the European Central Bank has a non-symmetrical inflation target—it is compelled to take action only when inflation is too high.

Explanation:
A symmetrical inflation target is a requirement placed on a central bank to respond when inflation is too low as well as when inflation is too high.

For example, the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada have symmetrical inflation targets. In contrast, the European Central Bank has a non-symmetrical inflation target—it is compelled to take action only when inflation is too high.



Example sentence(s):
  • "Ein symmetrisches Inflationsziel, wie es die Bank of England verfolgt, ist die richtige Antwort. Das heißt, die EZB dürfte nicht mehr, aber auch nicht weniger Inflation als 2,5 oder 3 Prozent anstreben."
