ECB’s Lagarde: We view a ‘measured response’ as appropriate to keep inflation in check

  • Growth has been broad-based across most countries and sectors, we expect this to continue
  • Manufacturing is performing solidly
  • The labor market remains robust
  • The outlook continues to be highly uncertain
  • Major tech advancements have not reduced unemployment but the verdict is still out
  • We see higher inflation ahead but not signs it is being embedded
  • The inflation outlook will be higher for 2027 and 2028 than we expected a few months ago
  • We remain in the ‘middle path’ for mon pol that we laid out earlier this year
  • We view a ‘measured response’ as appropriate to keep inflation in check
  • Measured response means that while the shock is too large to look through, we view a measured response as approriate to keep inflation in check

The euro is down 25 pips to 1.1364 today and is at the lows following this comment.
