At the ECB we do not have the exchange rate as our objective. But it is a very important macroeconomic indicator that we take into account when making our projections.

The main factor that will guide our decisions will be the evolution of inflation.

The recent projections of the European Commission clearly show a slowdown in growth, while inflation is expected to remain high in the coming months.

We expect countries and governments to implement the correct fiscal and structural policies in accordance with the EU recovery plan.
