ECB council: No policy change

  • German industrial new orders (September): up 

  • ECB council: no policy change

German industrial new orders will probably have increased again in September, just like the ifo assessment of the business situation and order books.

Germany

The Purchasing Managers’ Indices for the German and EMU manufacturing sector in October are unlikely to be revised significantly.

This week, Bundesbank president Axel Weber made some interesting remarks about the ECB’s exit strategy. He said the ECB’s liquidity measures were a way of neutralising disruptions in financial markets, particularly with regard to refinancing the banks.
When the situation in financial markets eased, these measures would no longer be necessary, according to Mr Weber. He appears to think that this could soon be the case. Presumably, other members of the ECB governing council share Bundesbank president Weber’s opinion. As far as next week’s ECB council meeting is concerned, however, we are expecting the policy stance to be left unchanged. The central bank will probably restrict itself to gradually becoming more upbeat in its assessment of the macroeconomic situation and gently hinting that exit will be necessary “at some point”. But in December at the latest, when its commitment to provide unlimited liquidity runs out, the ECB will have to say to what extent it intends to continue the unconventional measures.
