Lagarde: Uncertainty is huge

  • More from the ECB President
Lagarde March 6 2025
  • We are not precommiting to a path
  • We will probably be more data dependent
  • Some governors indicate what they think but those are not collective views, I assure you
  • From one day to the other, our projections change dramatically
  • Risks are all over the place

These comments were worth hearing because Lagarde underscored the uncertainty and the variability of policy.

  • Decision was a consensus and no one opposed
  • Holzmann abstained
  • Won't be changing policy stance based on short term market moves
  • Limited spread variation despite massive yield moves
  • Our staff isn't in a position to yet evaluate how German policies might impact growth and inflation
  • These things need to go through parliament and be implemented. It would boost growth but we will see
  • We will reach inflation target in 2026, the delay is due to energy prices
