ECB's Lagarde: We are not seeing transmission from wages to inflation yet
|"We are not seeing a transmission from wages to inflation yet," European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum on Friday.
"We're seeing inflation moving a teeny, tiny little bit but this is really minor," Lagarde added, per Reuters. "It would take much higher numbers to actually change the picture fundamentally."
