ECB's president Lagarde: PEPP envelope can be recalibrated if required to maintain favourable financing conditions
- Pandemic and related containment measures will continue to adversely affect euro area economic activity in short term
- Beyond the short term, activity should pick up
- Overall, risks surrounding euro area growth outlook have become more balanced, although downside risks associated with pandemic remain in near term
- Headline inflation likely to increase further in the coming months, but temporary factors are expected to fade out of annual inflation rates early next year
- PEPP envelope need not be used in full if favourable financing conditions can be maintained with a flow of asset purchases that does not exhaust the envelope by the envisaged end of PEPP’s net purchase phase
- It is absolutely crucial for monetary and fiscal policies to continue complementing each other in supporting euro area economy
