    Interview with Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, conducted by Marie Charrel and Eric Albert and published on 19 October 2020

      • Since the rebound we saw over the summer, the recovery has been uneven, uncertain and incomplete and now risks losing momentum.
      • Our central scenario foresees euro area GDP declining by an average of 8% in 2020 and assumes partial and localised containment measures.
      • If the situation deteriorates, our projections, which we will revise in December, will obviously be gloomier.
      • They pose a risk for the social fabric, household income, demand and growth.
      • We think its essential that the fiscal safety nets that governments put in place during this crisis are not withdrawn too soon.
      • In response to the slowdown in activity, the ECB launched asset purchases amounting to more than 1.5 trillion, which is unprecedented.
      • If the crisis gets worse, what more will it be able to do?
      • On taking up my position, I was told that there was nothing left for me to do, that everything had been done.
      • We have found ways to stabilise the markets and support the euro area economy.
      • The pandemic emergency purchase programme, or PEPP for short, which was launched in March, has effectively calmed the markets.
      • In the euro area, the volume of lending has increased by 7% for firms and 3% for households.
      • Central banks have been taking action for the past ten years and still need to do more.
      • When we see how quickly digital payments are spreading, especially among young people, its important to meet this demand.
      • Thats what we are doing at the ECB by starting to experiment and by launching our public consultation on the digital euro.
      • But we must take climate issues into account because they have an impact on price stability, our primary mandate.
