ECB’s Governing Council member Weidmann: Governments should not expect central banks to keep interest rates low forever

  • If price outlook requires it, there must be a turning point in terms of interest rates in Eurozone 
  • Price pressures in Eurozone are expected to remain subdued in coming years 
  • A shift in interest rate policy can take some time
  • Governments should prepare for interest hikes and not pretend that their debt burden is easy to service
  • ECB will not take into consideration public debt servicing costs if price stability mandates higher interest rates
  • Economic outlook ultimately depends on how coronavirus infections develop after lockdown
  • We expect Germany's debt burden during the pandemic to be smaller than during the 2008 financial crisis
  • Second coronavirus wave is not expected to inflict more economic damage than first wave
  • German government's emergency fiscal measures must be terminated once crisis unleashed by the pandemic is over
  • 2021 general election in Germany should play no role in decision to end or extend economic rescue measures
