Key quotes
"In the last two years, our main risk was to overshoot our 2% target.”
"Now we must also pay attention to the opposite risk, of undershooting our objective due to a weak growth and a restrictive monetary policy for too long."
"If we are next year sustainably at 2% inflation, and with still a sluggish growth outlook in Europe, there won't be any reason for our monetary policy to remain restrictive, and our rates to be above the neutral rate of interest.”
"The victory against inflation is in sight, but it’s not a reason to become complacent and relax on a preset course.”
