ECB

ECB Board member Fabio Panetta gave an interview in Le Monde.

  • He went on to note that inflation remains high, but tighter policy will bite more in the coming months.
  • Finally, he said that a technical recession can't be ruled out for the Eurozone.
  • Panetta has always been at the dovish end of the ECB spectrum, and these comments shouldn't provide much impact for markets.
