ECB's Nowotny: governing council decision yesterday was unanimous
Continuing with his earlier comments, ECB Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny was further noted saying that decision made yesterday was unanimous.
Additional quotes:
• ECB has set itself the target of an inflation rate of just below 2%.
• Says that from his perspective that goal has been achieved.
• Whether it is 1.7% or 1.9%, it is within the statistical ambiguity.
• The task now is to secure this success permanently.
• Important for ECB to seize the opportunity for normalization as soon as possible.
