The goals of monetary policy do NOT include the promotion of _________________

  • A.Maximum employment
  • B.Low Taxes
  • C.Stable Prices
  • D.Moderate long-term interest rates

Answer: B

Correct answer: Low Taxes

Taxation is fiscal policy, set by the government, and lies entirely outside a central bank's mandate. A central bank has no power to change tax rates and no responsibility for them.

The other three are recognised monetary policy goals - the Federal Reserve's statutory mandate names maximum employment, stable prices and moderate long-term interest rates. The separation matters: the central bank controls money and credit, the government controls spending and taxation, and confusing the two obscures who is accountable for what.
