• We're on the right track when it comes to monetary policy.
  • We're now in the neutral territory of monetary policy.
  • We'll do what is necessary.
  • You will find sentences in our last monetary policy statements about what we think about fragmentation.
  • We have hope we can convince Washington of what is right or wrong when it comes to tariffs.
  • In the absence of a good compromise with Washington over tariffs, US citizens would pay the higher price not Europeans.
  • Bringing inflation to target is the best thing the ECB can do for growth.
  • Our mission on inflation nearly accomplished but be sure we'll do all we need to do.

The ECB estimated the neutral rate to be in the 1.75-2.25% range. The current policy rate is at 2.00% and even though the central bank still sees one last rate cut by the end of the year, that will depend on the data in the next months.
