Free AccessECB Lautenschlager: Favours Bond Buying Scale-Back From Jan
--Updates with link to speech, corrects spelling in headline
LONDON (MNI) - European Central Bank Executive Board member Sabine
Lautenschlager said Monday that the time had come to scale back government bond
buying, starting as soon as January.
"We need to discuss how to exit from our unconventional monetary policy,
and then we need to do it. My opinion is clear: we should begin to scale back
our bond purchases at the beginning of next year," Lautenschlager told an
audience at Hohenheim University in Stuttgart.
She was certain that this would be a step towards ending unconventional
measures to an end, and when they ended, "it will mark the last chapter of this
turbulent tale".
Lautenschlager, who also serves as Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board of
the ECB, argued that given the low inflation, monetary policy needed to be
expansive.
"Admittedly, the appropriate degree of expansion and the necessary tools
are moot points. In any case, we must bear in mind that some of the ECB's more
unconventional tools also have side effects. And these side effects will grow in
magnitude the longer the tools are used. So, the future holds the final answer
to our question of whether monetary policy was optimally calibrated," she added.
"If we manage to put the unconventional tools back into the box when the
time comes, we will be able to claim that the ECB successfully achieved its
objective. And in my view, this time has come," she said.
