ECB to stand by past stimulus policies in strategy review – Reuters
|Several European Central Bank (ECB) policymakers told Reuters on Tuesday that the “ECB review will largely endorse past policies, including quantitative easing (QE), despite some policymakers' criticisms.”
The policymakers further noted that the central bank will “keep reference to 'forceful action' when rates, inflation are low following strategy review.”
“The strategy document is also likely to say that the ECB is operating in an environment of high uncertainty and reaffirm its commitment to a "symmetric" 2% inflation target, meaning that undershoots and overshoots are equally undesirable,” Reuters reported.
