“The ECB needs to look at consumer prices, as persistently high inflation may require a reduction in stimulus“.

“The bank should focus on whether inflation leads to acceleration of wage growth which could drive the pace of price increases above 2% in the long term. “

“If this happened, the central bank would not be able to continue its policy of large bond purchases and negative interest rates for a long time.”
