ECB's Panetta: Probability of recession is increasing
European Central Bank (ECB) executive board member Fabio Panetta said on Tuesday that they may have to adjust the monetary policy further, as reported by Reuters.
Panetta acknowledged that the probability of a recession in the eurozone was increasing and added that a recession would mitigate inflation pressures. "Real rates are not too far from the estimated neutral level," ECB policymaker noted and said recent econonomic developments should prompt prudence from the bank.
