Monetary stance 'appropriate', rates not hurting growth-says ECB board member Smaghi
BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) - The European Central Bank (ECB)'s current monetary policy stance is appropriate and the euro-zone's interest rate levels are not hampering economic growth, ECB executive board member Lorenzo Bini Smaghi said. 'I don't consider this level of interest rate and the process of rebalancing the interest rate as hampering growth,' Bini Smaghi said at a conference in Beijing.
When asked about the ECB's current monetary policy stance, he said: 'I would define it as appropriate'. He did not elaborate.
