ECB VIEW
ECB VIEW: It's fair to say that Draghi ducked so many questions in today's press
conference such that the main information from today was in the new staff
forecasts: strong growth and weak CPI. Growth forecasts were mostly a catch-up
to other stronger forecasts.
- For reference, the 2018 ECB forecasts are 10bp higher than the OECD's 2.2% and
exactly the same for the 2019 GDP forecast from the OECD. 
- However, the ECB's forecast for HICP is 10bp lower than the OECD's 1.5%
forecast for 2018 and 20bp below the 1.7% that the OECD has for 2019.
