The European Central Bank is stated to play a role relating to responsibility for ensuring financial stability in the majority of EU countries.

In this endeavor, Marani states that it is useful to bring to mind the primary conclusions "reached by the convention framework moving from the time-consistency constraint" as follows: The central bank credibility is founded on policies that are consistent with earlier plans and announcements and, hence, on the ability to precommit to policies; This commitment implies the preference for a rule instead of discretionary policies that is the only way to achieve the 'minimum' inflation rate; The rate of inflation is minimized because the rule avoids the insurgence of an inflationary bias, that arises from the central bank's desire for an unemployment rate below the natural rate joined with its inability to credibly commit to a low inflation rate; The rules and the elimination of the 'inflation bias' determine the reputation and the credibility of the central banker that would be lost if he deviates from the 'minimum inflation' solution; The reputation of the central bank is safer if its preferences differ from those of the elected government; hence it is optimal that the government appoints a central banker who places greater relative weight on the inflation objective than does society as a whole; and This kind of appointment defends the independence of central bank and grants a lower average inflation and a greater real economy performance." (Marani, nd) Marani states that the most confounding issues is "the concept of credibility" because "the notion of credibility included is the benchmark model is strictly connected with the time consistency which arises from the belief in a systematic inflationary bias in the behavior of the central bank

government will be borrowing money in order to pay for a tax cut that went overwhelmingly to upper-income Americans." (Faux, 1) This defies fiscal logic especially in its imbalance, which makes it less likely to place money in the hands of those that truly need it
The principle that an approach with such consequences can be employed to stimulate expansion is fiscally unsound, contrasting the foundational resolution that "economic growth reflects increases in the capacity to generate income through technological change" and other indicators of future economic vitality.

The increased productivity generates a larger economy and higher national income." (Orszag, 1) That is contrasted by a total reversal of such measures in the current administration's 'recovery' legislation

The central bank sets the monetary base while private banks and the general public interact to determine the money multiplier which is the ratio of the money supply to the monetary base" (Abel & Bernanke, 1998)

An expansionary monetary policy increases the money supply in an effort to cut the cost of borrowing, which encourages business decision makers to make new investments, in turn stimulating employment and economic growth. A restrictive monetary policy reduces the money supply to curb rising prices, over expansion, and concerns about overly rapid growth (Kurtz)
The Federal Reserve's expansionary monetary policy supplied the means for unsustainable housing prices and unsustainable mortgage financing. Growth in regulatory mandates and subsidies exaggerated the demand for riskier mortgages, most importantly the implicit guarantees to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that combined with HUDs imposition of "affordable housing" mandates on Fannie and Freddie to accelerate the creation of a market for securitized subprime mortgages (White)
The current monetary policy is expansionary in nature. This is because GDP growth is slower than where it should -- there is a gap between the actual GDP level and the potential GDP level (Gavin, 2012)
The decline in the rate of unemployment in the past five years is attributed to the addition of jobs by employers, though most of them are part-time and low-paying.

However, this was followed by a mild recession at the beginning of 2008, which eventually turned into a severe credit crisis across the world approximately one year later.
