From ecb.europa.eu|Oct 28, 2019|2 commentsThis year marks two decades of monetary union, which is by any measure a momentous anniversary. Not so long ago, the euro area economy was scarred by a level of unemployment probably unseen since the Great Depression, and fundamental questions were being asked about whether the euro would survive. Today 11 million more people are in work. Public trust in the euro has risen to its highest level ever. Across the euro area, policymakers are reaffirming that the euro is irreversible. But I see today more as an occasion to reflect than to ...
From ecb.europa.eu|Sep 26, 2019It is my pleasure to welcome you to the fourth annual conference of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB). Since this is the last time I will open this conference as Chair of the ESRB, I wanted to reflect on the development of macroprudential policy over the course of the past eight years. In that time it has evolved from an idea that mostly existed on paper into policy instruments that have been widely implemented. Europe is now better placed to prevent or mitigate risks to financial stability than it was in the run-up to the ...
From currencylive.com|Sep 26, 2019|35 commentsThe euro US dollar exchange rate dropped to a low of US$1.0947 on Wednesday. The pair ended the session not far above this and also not far from the multi-year low set in September of US$1.0926. The euro has been under pressure after disappointing data releases earlier in the week. German manufacturing PMI figures were worryingly weak and whilst German IFO business sentiment moderately improved, the expectations element of the index was surprisingly downbeat. Today euro investors will stay focused on the eurozone economic calendar ...

Madam Chair, Honourable members of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to start by congratulating all of you on your election, and you, Madam Chair, on your recent appointment as Chair of this Committee. It is a pleasure to appear before this Committee in this new legislative term and before my term as ECB President comes to an end. The legitimacy of the ECB’s independence, as enshrined in the EU Treaties, crucially relies on our accountability. And the Treaties have conferred this Parliament with a central role in holding the ECB accountable. Hearings before this Committee play an essential role here. In my time as President, I have found them to be extremely beneficial.

From think.ing.com|Jun 18, 2019|1 commentAfter Benoît Coeuré's rather dovish interview with the Financial Times, suggesting that “at some point during our next few meetings, we might very well be facing a situation where risks have materialized”, ECB president Mario Draghi went one step further with his speech in Sintra today There should more no more doubts about the ECB’s determination to act. In fact, the major question is no longer what it would take the ECB to cut rates but rather what it would take the ECB not to cut rates. Next steps could follow as soon as at the ...
