1. Price stability mandate
Price stability as the primary objective of monetary policy
Article 127 of the Treaty: "The primary objective of the ESCB shall be to maintain price stability. Without prejudice to the objective of price stability, the ESCB shall support the general economic policies in the Union..."
Governing Council's definition of price stability: "year-on-year increase in the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for the euro area of below 2%. Price stability is to be maintained over the medium term". (October 1998)
End of dot com bubble already elicited discussion about lower bound and asymmetry of reaction function. This led to a clarification of the strategy : "below, but close to 2% over the medium term". (May 2003)

1. Price stability mandate
The long view
Consumer prices evolved broadly in line with a 2% trend until the sovereign debt crisis
Core consumer prices evolved along a lower trend already well before the crisis
Downward pressures on both headline and core inflation built up in the aftermath of the sovereign debt crisis

1. The evolving role of the monetary pillar
In the run-up to the GFC, strong monetary and credit dynamics signalled "upside risks to price stability".
M3 growth and credit to the private sector (percentages per annum)
Economic and monetary pillars were originally conceived as two complementary paradigms with different time horizons to be reconciled by crosschecking their indications for the risks to price stability.
The 2003 clarification of the strategy gave more prominence to the economic pillar, and deemphasised the reference value of money.
Lack of macroprudential framework.
In the crisis years the monetary and credit analysis was deepened with a view to understanding the transmission from central bank facilities to private sector credit.

1. GFC marked dramatic change in the policy environment
A dual assessment: policy stance and transmission through the banking system
Policy stance: significant loosening following GFC, but tightening in April-July 2011 amid concerns about second-round effects from energy inflation
Transmission: Generous liquidity provision to banks to prevent disorderly deleveraging (FRFA, VLTROs, ...) and SMP to support monetary policy transmission
