The European Central Bank and Bank of France Governor Villeroy de Galhau said on Friday that their current “good stance” on ECB policy does not mean a comfortable or firm position at a conference in Paris.
Key takeaways
The “good situation” of ECB policy at the moment does not mean a comfortable or static position.
Positive and negative deviations from the 2% target, if permanent, are equally undesirable.
Downside risks to inflation expectations remain no less important than upside risks.
The name of the game for our future meetings remains total choice, and the only fixed number is our 2% inflation target.
