欧洲央行管委维勒鲁瓦：通胀无忧，年内或再降息

Group 1 - The European Central Bank (ECB) may further lower interest rates this year as there is currently no inflation risk in the eurozone, according to François Villeroy de Galhau, Governor of the Bank of France [1] - Villeroy noted that the impact of President Donald Trump's tariff policies on eurozone prices remains unclear, but overall, these policies could potentially lower price levels in the region [1] - He emphasized that the ECB is likely to initiate rate cuts earlier and more rapidly compared to the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England, which he considers reasonable and appropriate [1] Group 2 - ECB President Christine Lagarde echoed Villeroy's views, stating that the impact of trade tensions on prices is uncertain, but the resulting inflation slowdown may outweigh inflation effects [2] - ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane expressed confidence that recent data suggests inflation rates should stabilize around the 2% target, citing wage growth as aligning with expectations [2] - However, some European policymakers, like Klaas Knot, Governor of the Dutch Central Bank, expressed caution regarding the unclear effects of tariffs and increased spending in Germany, indicating that there is no immediate need to lower rates to stimulate the economy [2]
