ECB's Rehn warns against early withdrawal of restrictive monetary policy

  • Remarks by ECB policymaker, Olli Rehn
  • We have moved policy to an area that restricts aggregate demand
  • There is no reason for us to abandon it or exit it prematurely
  • The path to sustainable growth is narrow
  • But it can be traversed with a proactive, balanced policy

As they are still on the path of tightening policy further to guard against high inflation, these remarks are pretty much just a supportive element. If and when price pressures do ease and they can start to look at pausing, the narrative can quickly switch around especially if economic conditions worsen rapidly.
