ECB’s Villeroy: Downside risks to inflation remain as significant as the upside risks.
European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of France Governor Villeroy de Galhau said on Friday that their current "good position" of ECB policy does not mean a comfortable or fixed one at a conference in Paris.
Key takeaways
Currently "good position" of ECB policy does not mean a comfortable position nor a fixed one.
Positive and negative deviations from 2% target, if lasting, are equally undesirable.
Downside risks to inflation outlook remain at least as significant as the upside risks.
The name of the game for our future meetings remains full optionality, the only fixed figure is our 2% inflation target."
