Abstract. In the present study we propose a critical approach to the concept of price stability. In the beginning we have considered a literature review regarding price stability issues. After that we have discussed about its implications in central banking and economy. Also, according to the statutes of 128 countries, we have done a statistical study of central banks in the light of the chosen statutory objective.

Keywords: price stability; central bank; final objective; implications; monetary policy.
