The president of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, reiterates that rates are well positioned, but warns of the risks for inflation
The president of the European Central Bank (ECB), Christine Lagarde, has reiterated that the interest rates are well positioned, although he has warned of the risks for the inflation to increase the United States duty or if supply chains are disrupted.
“The interest rates that we agreed on in the last meetings They are, in my opinion, correct. I continue to say that we are in a good position within the inflation cycle, that we have achieved check”, Lagarde stated in statements to the Slovak television channel ‘JOJ24’.
However, the ‘guardian of the euro’ has indicated that a resurgence of trade tensions or disruptions in supply chains could put upward pressures on prices and distance them from the objective of 2% stability.
Likewise, Lagarde has confirmed that the behavior of GDP in the eurozone has been resilient and better than expected, so she has not ruled out that it could close this year above the 1.2% planned by the ECB in September.
