Creating monetary policy.

A central bank’s primary role is to set and implement monetary policy (e.g., interest rates, reserve requirements, open-market operations) to achieve goals like price stability and financial stability — which includes controlling inflation. Printing money and increasing credit are tools or effects, not the central bank’s main purpose.
