Stable prices, monetary policy and the Danish economy
The main monetary policy objective is to ensure price stability. In Denmark, we do this through the fixed exchange rate policy, where the value of the Danish krone is kept stable against the euro. As a result of the fixed exchange rate policy, where interest rates are used to control the krone exchange rate, it is important that the other economic policies are aimed at ensuring a stable economy. Therefore, Danmarks Nationalbank makes, for example, fiscal policy recommendations.
