This objective is legislated, and the central bank is the only authority to implement it. The importance of this viewpoint is showed in different ways; it is called “the national monetary policy” in Vietnam or a “primary function of the Bank” in New Zealand, but the ultimate goal is completely the same, price stability.

The SBV should concentrate its efforts on their main functions as a central bank of a country rather than allocate its resources to non-professional fields such as
