ECB’s Panetta: Must remain pragmatic and data-driven in setting policy rate
|
European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Fabio Panetta said on Wednesday, the central bank “must remain pragmatic and data-driven in setting the policy rate.”
Further comments
ECB should now focus more on inflation expectations than estimated neutral level in setting rates.
As inflation falls and rates near neutral, uncertainty becomes more of a problem.
