An economic analysis of a developed country over a 25-year period reveals two key trends: 1) The annual increase in the general price level has consistently remained between 1.8% and 2.2%. 2) The actual measured unemployment rate has rarely deviated from the economy's estimated 'natural' or 'structural' rate of unemployment. Based on these two pieces of evidence, what is the most accurate conclusion about this country's economic performance during this period?

During the period of macroeconomic stability in Canada from the mid-1990s to 2020, policymakers successfully kept the inflation rate near its 2% target by ensuring the unemployment rate remained consistently below the structural unemployment rate.
