ECB: A 50 basis point hike is the minimum needed at the December meeting – Makhlouf

I see a 50 basis point increase in interest rates as the minimum needed at our December meeting“, said on Monday Gabriel Makhlouf, member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB).

Additional comments

We have to be open to policy rates moving into tight territory over period in 2023.

It is premature to talk about the end point of the monetary policy rates in the midst of the existing levels of uncertainty.

Quantitative tightening is a complex issue.

It would be wrong to attribute our current inflation problem solely to supply shocks..

As price pressures spread throughout the basketthe risks of a consolidation of persistently high inflation are increasing, and the arguments in favor of a more restrictive monetary policy are reinforced.

The increase in the participation of forecasters who expect high inflation rates is a development that must be closely watched.
