Bundesbank chief says Euro zone inflation is not at the desired level by the ECB – News

Euro zone inflation remains a concern for the European Central Bank, according to Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel. Despite a recent fall in inflation to 2.2 percent in August, Nagel anticipates that it could rise again towards the end of the year, potentially reaching around 2.5 percent by the end of 2024. As a result, interest rates need to remain at a sufficiently high level to address price pressures. The ECB recently cut rates for the second time this year, sparking speculation about the timing of the next move, with December being a popular option among experts.

Nagel emphasized the importance of maintaining a tight monetary policy to combat inflation, noting that the current inflation level is below the desired target. He highlighted the impact of rapid wage growth on private consumption, which could contribute to rising prices in the future. In Germany, high wage increases have been agreed upon in recent collective bargaining agreements, and similar trends are expected in future negotiations. Nagel also pointed out that labor shortages in Germany are likely to keep upward pressure on wages in the long term.

While Nagel did not rule out the possibility of rate cuts in December, he stressed the need for a consistent and sustained approach to monetary policy to achieve the 2 percent inflation target in the medium term. He emphasized the importance of “staying power” in addressing inflation and suggested that the timing of potential steps would depend on incoming data. Nagel’s comments reflect a cautious approach to monetary policy, aiming to balance the need to support economic growth while managing inflationary pressures effectively.

With uncertainties surrounding the future trajectory of inflation and wage growth, the ECB faces challenges in determining the optimal timing for further rate adjustments. While some markets anticipate a potential rate cut in October or December, Nagel’s remarks underscore the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective in addressing inflation. The ECB’s commitment to achieving the 2 percent inflation target will require a strategic and patient approach to monetary policy, taking into account various economic factors that could influence the inflation outlook.

In conclusion, Eurozone inflation remains a key focus for the ECB, with Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel highlighting the importance of maintaining a tight monetary policy stance to address inflationary pressures. While recent rate cuts have aimed to support economic growth, the ECB will need to carefully monitor inflation dynamics and wage trends to determine future policy actions. Nagel’s emphasis on “staying power” underscores the need for a consistent and patient approach to monetary policy to achieve the ECB’s inflation target in the medium term. This cautious and strategic approach will be crucial in navigating the complex economic landscape and managing inflation effectively.
