Lagarde: In December, we will also lay out the key principles for reducing the bond holdings in our asset purchase programme portfolio. It is appropriate that the balance sheet is normalised over time in a measured and predictable way.
Lagarde: The ECB is committed to taming inflation and to ensuring price stability. Interest rates are, and will remain, the main tool for fighting inflation. Higher interest rates will help bring prices down and will have an effect on inflation expectations.
Lagarde: Economic growth is slowing rapidly. By reducing people’s real incomes and pushing up costs for firms, high inflation is dampening spending and production. Growth is expected to weaken further throughout the rest of this year and the beginning of next year.
Lagarde: The reopening of the economy after the pandemic meant a rapid release of pent-up demand, contributing to a gradual increase in core inflation over the year.
Lagarde: The impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine has been felt around the world. Inflation has surged, prompting central banks to raise interest rates. Energy costs have been a key driver of euro area inflation, which is at its highest since the start of our monetary union.
