Economic growth: the primary goal of macroeconomic analysis, referring to an increase in the overall output of an economy over time.
Low inflation: a main objective that involves maintaining a stable and modest rise in the general price level, preventing excessive increases that can harm economic stability.
Low unemployment: a goal aimed at minimizing the percentage of the labor force that is jobless and actively seeking work, to promote economic stability and individual well-being.
