ECB's Governing Council member Villeroy: Don't assume ECB will simply follow Fed's strategy

  • There is no doubt about our determination to act as much as needed
  • ECB has "free hands" for future action
  • We have ample room to manoeuvre
  • Inflation is not yet where we want it
  • ECB might let inflation rise above 2% for some time
  • Inflation target should be perceived as flexible, symmetric and medium-term
  • Symmetric means that our numerical objective is target, not ceiling
  • Medium-term inflation target cannot ignore the past
  • We should examine whether current formulation of inflation target casts doubt on ECB’s commitment to symmetry
