The Eurozone recovery cannot be sustained solely by monetary policy - ECB's Mersch

Speaking in Hamburg

  • ECB measures have proved effective

  • How much longer can we continue to talk about even lower rates as being a monetary policy option
  • We cannot lower out interest rates to an unlimited extent
  • For the recovery to gain traction we need to keep our word
  • Subdued inflation will be with us for quite some time
  • Inflation of below but close to 2% is the only goal that our unconventional measure are also bound by

The comments have a relatively hawkish slant to them but not enough to wake the euro up. Here's the full speech.

Weidmann is up next so maybe he'll shake things up a bit.
