European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Villeroy de Galhau: I still believe gradual normalization of our policy is desirable

  • We need to assess the extent to which the recent slowdown and drop in inflation are temporary
  • If downturn persists, ECB stands ready to change guidance
  • We should look at a whole spectrum of tools including various forms of LTRO to decide on recalibration of conditions and maturities
  • If we had to use negative rates for longer than expected, we should study pragmatically how to contain possible adverse effects
  • On TLTRO, policy shouldn't be designed according to the needs of some banks or jurisdictions
