ECB's Call for Continued Vigilance

Peter Kazimir, a member of the European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council, emphasized the importance of staying alert in the face of ongoing disinflationary pressures and potential tariff threats from the United States. Despite some positive signs in inflation trends, Kazimir stressed that it's too early to lower our guard.

Assessing Risks and Options

Kazimir highlighted the need for the ECB to carefully evaluate all incoming data and keep all policy options open, including the possibility of further rate cuts or a pause in adjustments. He warned against premature optimism, which could jeopardize the progress made in stabilizing inflation.

Responsible Action Without Detours

"Premature optimism carries a risk to set us back. We must stay alert and act responsibly - without unexpected detours," Kazimir insisted, underscoring the importance of a cautious and measured approach in the current economic climate.
