- no doubt ECB needs to keep policy accommodative
Also, this time from the BIS ( Bank for International Settlements ... this is a financial institution owned by central banks) with a research piece on
- "There will be higher inflation for some time, but that I don't think will alter the fundamental picture" of it being transitory
- "Having said that of course, one should always remain vigilant."
