The European Central Bank doesn’t need services inflation — a key focus as policymakers determine how much to lower interest rates — to slow to the 2% target, according to President Christine Lagarde. “Obviously, we don’t need to have services at 2% because manufacturing goods are below 2% and at the end of the day it’s going to be a balance between goods and services,” she told a panel Tuesday in Sintra, Portugal. “But we have to look really what is behind it,” she said. “And what’s behind it is a lot of wages. Services has a very ...

The ECB and Banco de Portugal host the ECB Forum on Central Banking 2024 In Sintra, Portugal. Watch the livestream of the day's events. The programme of the event can be found on the ECB's website.
Christine Lagarde, President, European Central Bank, gives the introductory speech for the ECB Forum on Central Banking in Sintra, Portugal. 1st of July, 2024.
First of all, I would like to welcome you all to this year’s ECB Forum. The theme of the conference is “Monetary policy in an era of transformation”, and we have a rich programme ahead of us, exploring the changes that are taking place. But even if most of us can agree that the economy is undergoing substantial change, I imagine there are more diverging views about where it will end up. This lack of clarity presents a profound challenge for policymakers, as we must try at once to understand these transformations and to steer the economy through them. Indeed, much of the policy challenge over the last few years has involved stabilising inflation while facing fundamental uncertainty about the economy. Nevertheless, we have managed to chart a path through this uncertainty, and we have come a long way in the fight against inflation. In October 2022, inflation peaked at 10.6%. By September 2023, the last time we raised rates, it had fallen by more than half, to 5.2%. And then after nine months of holding rates steady, we saw inflation halve again to 2.6%, which led us to cut rates for the first time in June. Our work is not done, and we need to remain vigilant. But this progress allows us to look back and reflect on the path we have taken. This evening I would like to talk about three specific features that have defined this policy cycle: the risks, the path and the cos post: ECB NOT IN A HURRY TO CUT RATES FURTHER, LAGARDE SAYS post: ECB’S LAGARDE: IT WILL TAKE TIME TO BE CERTAIN THAT INFLATION’S ON TRACK ECB’S LAGARDE: STRONG LABOUR MKT MEANS WE HAVE TIME TO GATHER INFORMATION ECB’S LAGARDE: SOFT LANDING FOR EURO ZONE ECONOMY NOT GUARANTEED post: MORE ECB'S LAGARDE: REITERATES THAT THE GOVERNING COUNCIL REMAINS DATA DEPENDENT AND WILL 'TAKE OUR POLICY DECISIONS MEETING BY MEETING' #ecb #europeancentralbank #monetarypolicy #christinelagarde
It is a pleasure to be here in Dubrovnik. To this day, the stunning beauty of this city evokes the words of one of its most famous poets, Ivan Gundulić: “O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo”. These words may be centuries old, but they remain as fresh as ever for those who have the good fortune to experience Dubrovnik first-hand. The programme for the 30th Dubrovnik Economic Conference offers a snapshot of policymaking in a world of transition. And this world of transition is, increasingly, a world of profound uncertainty for economic ...
It is a pleasure to be here. The Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs attracts some of the sharpest minds of each generation, shaping their talent and inspiring them to pursue exceptional careers in diplomacy and public policy. And there is plenty to be inspired by while studying at Yale. Not too far from here, tucked away in the Sterling Memorial Library in the heart of Yale’s campus, lie the papers of America’s first diplomat, Benjamin Franklin. Franklin was many things – ambassador to France, scientist, inventor, writer and publisher, to name a few – but above all, he was a man of ideas. As a young man, around the same age as some of you here, Franklin understood the power of ideas. post: ECB PRESIDENT CHRISTINE LAGARDE DOES NOT REFER TO MONETARY POLICY IN PREPARED REMARKS FOR DELIVERY AT YALE UNIVERSITY #christinelagarde #monetarypolicy #inflation #interestrates #policyeasing #eurozone
