ECB's Coeure: Incoming data has shifted the balance of risks to neutral

Benoit Coeure speaking in Brussels

  • Balance of risks for growth has been shifted by the data towards neutral territory

  • At the same time, measures of inflation have remained subdued

  • Projected path of inflation remains highly conditional on our policy stance

  • Forward guidance has been successful

  • Any decision to change our policy expectations does not prejudice further policy steps

  • Should we decide to change our policy expectations on the back of and improving economic landscape, this does not mean we wouldn't lower interest rates or increase the pace of QE in any state of the world
