Eurosystem

The Eurosystem is the monetary authority of the eurozone, consisting of the European Central Bank and the national central banks of the 20 member states that have adopted the euro as their sole official currency. The Eurosystem's primary objective is price stability, with secondary objectives of financial stability and financial integration. The Eurosystem is independent and distinct from the European System of Central Banks, which includes the central banks of all 27 European Union member states. The Eurosystem's basic tasks include setting monetary policy, maintaining the stability of the financial system, and providing statistical information to the European Central Bank.learn more on wikipedia
