Jazbec also added that the current strong level of the exchange rate is a reflection of strong growth in the region, while he added that further evidence is still needed before any decision on stimulus.
At the moment, EUR/USD is hovering over the 1.1900 handle, managing to rebound from recent lows in the 1.1870 area.
