Speaking at a conference in Athens

ECB Stournaras

ECB governing council member Yannis Stournaras is saying in a speech in Athens, Greece that:

  • Those looking for a rate hike are probably in a hurry
  • The ECB does not expect a significant rising inflation in the medium-term
  • Dismisses the rising energy prices
  • Sees inflation fallen below 2% next year

The comments are congruent with previous comments made by the Bank of Greece Governor.
