ECB’s Governing Council member Makhlouf: Average inflation targeting is one of options being considered by ECB

  • Does not think that ECB is going to overshoot below but close to 2% inflation target unintentionally
  • But it is possible that in future ECB may follow the U.S. Fed in allowing overshooting at times to maintain target average rate
  • It's one of the issues we are looking at
  • Sees current glut in savings as temporary
  • Says there are no plans to change regulatory capital requirements
  • Consumer demand surge in H2 is possible
