ECB Statute

The ECB Statute is a set of rules that established the European Central Bank (ECB) and defined its role within the European Union. It explains how the ECB operates, its objectives—including maintaining price stability—and its responsibilities, such as managing the euro and overseeing monetary policy for Eurozone countries. The statute also details governance structures, decision-making procedures, and how the ECB collaborates with national central banks. Overall, it provides a legal framework ensuring the ECB functions consistently, transparently, and in coordination with EU institutions to support economic stability across the Euro area.
