Comments by ECB president, Christine Lagarde

  • Sweet spot is low inflation with buffer above zero (Lane)
  • It is a very bad idea for inflation to go negative (Lane)

She is participating at an ECB event alongside chief economist, Philip Lane, so the comments above are from both of them. So far, the remarks are nothing new but we'll see if there is more sense of urgency if price pressures don't improve in the coming months.
