Ahead of the ECB

In the latest episode of our ‘Ahead of the ECB’ series, Danae Kyriakopoulou, Chief Economist and Director of Research at OMFIF, is joined by Stefan Gerlach, Chief Economist at EFG Bank and former Deputy Governor at the Central Bank of Ireland, and Frederik Ducrozet, Senior European Economist at Pictet Wealth Management. They discuss the priorities for the ECB and its incoming President Christine Lagarde as the euro enters its third decade, commenting on what potential next instruments the central bank may use in the direction of easing. They also preview what kind of Presidency we may expect from Christine Lagarde and highlight potential challenges in the context of the interplay of monetary policy with other levers such as fiscal policy and structural reforms.
