9 Accounts from ECB monetary policy meeting 20 July EMU: Potential euro overshooting a concern A stronger euro reflects improved fundamentals, but At the same time, concerns were expressed about a possible overshooting in the repricing by financial markets, notably the foreign exchange markets, in the future. It was underlined that the still favourable financing conditions could not be taken for granted and relied to a considerable extent on a continued high degree of monetary policy accommodation Loose policy still important: Members generally agreed that the ECB s monetary policy measures had contributed significantly to the ongoing economic expansion and that a sustained momentum in economic growth was still contingent on continued favourable financing conditions. Yet, a remark was also made that the expansion was increasingly self-sustaining and hence had become less dependent on the current degree of monetary policy accommodation. Not yet convinced about inflation upturn: convincing evidence of a sustained convergence towards levels compatible with the ECB s inflation aim was still seen to be lacking. Overall, while members considered that the ongoing economic expansion gave reason for confidence that inflation dynamics would strengthen over time, they emphasised that patience, persistence and prudence were needed, as this process was expected to take time and remained contingent on a very substantial degree of monetary policy accommodation.

10 Accounts from ECB monetary policy meeting 20 July EMU: Paramount to avoid volatile markets Suggestion of tweak in forward guidance turned down: A suggestion was made that some consideration be given to an incremental adjustment in the language on forward guidance, because postponing an adjustment for too long could give rise to a misalignment between the Governing Council s communication and its assessment of the state of the economy, which could trigger more pronounced volatility in financial markets when communication eventually had to shift. However, it was generally judged paramount at this stage to avoid sending signals that could be prone to over-interpretation and might prove premature. Accordingly, there was agreement among all members to retain all elements of forward guidance ECB to strike fine balance : In the light of the heightened sensitivity of financial markets to news, a steady approach to communication was seen as key. The Governing Council needed to strike a fine balance between, on the one hand, expressing justified confidence in the economic expansion and, on the other hand, underlining the need for monetary policy to remain persistent and patient.( ) The view was widely shared that prudence was warranted with regard to the Governing Council s communication on the possible timing of its deliberations on the future course of its monetary policy. Overall, members agreed that communication on the timing of the decision should refer to the autumn. Back to index Daily Macro Brief page 10

The euro depreciated after the account of ECB s monetary policy revealed members concerned with euro overshoot. CHF and JPY strengthened, while stock markets took a downturn and demand for bonds pushed long-term bond yields slightly down. This indicates increased risk aversion in most markets.
