Free AccessMNI: ECB Weidmann: Recovery Opens Opportunity to Normal MonPol
By Christian Vits
FRANKFURT (MNI) - European Central Bank Governing Council member Jens
Weidmann said Friday the global economic recovery opens up a window of
opportunity for central banks to normalise monetary policy.
"The recovery should be used for structural reforms and improved economic
growth dynamics establish perspectives to normalise monetary policy," Weidmann
said in a joint press conference with German Finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble
in Washington. "The positive development is not only reflected in sentiment but
also in data such as global trade growth, which is the strongest in seven
years."
Regarding the outlook for the ECB's policy, Weidmann said this depends in
particular on the price developments how to proceed.
"I don't see the necessity permanently to open the throttle with respect to
monetary policy." That doesn't mean "full breaking", but it is about not to step
steadily on the gas, he stressed.
"Even after the run out of our net asset purchases, monetary policy will
remain extraordinarily loose."
Weidmann also underlined that an agreement on Basel II is "within range. I
expect that an agreement will be achieved any time soon."
Schaeuble noted that the German G-20 presidency had been a success and said
it was a positive feeling that Europe stood not in focus anymore when it comes
to economic concerns. "Still, this is no reason to rest," he added.
