ECB's president Lagarde: Tightening would be premature and would pose a risk to ongoing economic recovery and inflation outlook

  • Recovery is gathering pace, we need to ensure support well into recovery
  • The outlook for the euro area economy is indeed brightening
  • Spread of virus mutations continues to pose a risk
  • As recovery is gathering pace, we need to remain vigilant and ensure that policy support continues to provide bridge over the pandemic and well into recovery
  • Brighter prospects for global demand and faster-than-anticipated increase in consumer spending could result in even stronger recovery
  • Upward effect of underlying inflation pressures on headline inflation will be roughly counterbalanced by expected decline in energy prices
  • Effects on euro area HICP inflation from U.S. inflation are expected to be moderate
