European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member and Bank of France President, Francois Villeroy de Galhau, made some comments on the French economic and political scenario on Wednesday.
Cannot comment on political situation.
I think that it is important that, whatever is the result of this vote, France can quickly clarify its economic strategy and in particular its budget strategy.
Before the announcement on snap elections, we had already mentioned hazards of the environment.
Inflation will be below 2% in france starting next year, even at 1.7%.
EUR/USD is oscillating below 1.0750, modestly flat on the day.
