Christine Lagarde: Interview with Helsingin Sanomat

Lundi, février 27, 2023

25 February 2023

Key Points: 
  • 25 February 2023
    President Christine Lagarde, the European Commission said last week that the euro area is set to narrowly avoid a technical recession.
  • Another big question is how the lifting of COVID restrictions in China will affect its economic recovery and the global economy.
  • What do you think are the main reasons for the better-than-anticipated economic developments in the euro area?
  • European countries have responded to President Putin’s unlawful and unjustified war by working better together.
  • We will no longer buy Russian oil, and gas imports from Russia have gone down radically.
  • Governments, such as Austria and Germany, Estonia and Finland, have been cooperating on securing energy supplies.
  • Headline inflation is still unacceptably high, but it is likely to decline because energy costs are falling.
  • You have repeatedly said the ECB must stay on course when it comes to tightening monetary policy.
  • So now, from your perspective, should the Governing Council also stand ready for a 50 basis point tightening in May?
  • So it is not impossible or out of the question that there would be another 50 basis point hike after March?
  • Our decisions will be determined by the incoming data and driven by our goal of returning inflation to 2%.
  • Some academics have said the issue is that the ECB should have started raising interest rates earlier than July 2022.
  • The beauty of the Eurosystem is that everybody comes to the table with conviction and with an open mind.
  • So what would be your advice to increase labour productivity in Finland in order to secure long-term economic growth?
