[ECB Governing Council Member Sleipen: Price Stability is Important, Will Strive to Implement Monetary Policies to Achieve Price Stability Goals]
Golden Finance reports that ECB Governing Council Member Sleipen did not indicate whether he is hawkish or dovish, but stated, 'Price stability is my job.' He said, 'The European Central Bank has a very clear mission, which is to stabilize prices. This is the most important thing for me, and I will be committed to implementing monetary policies consistent with this.' When asked whether the ECB's deposit rate would temporarily remain at 2% as investors and most economists expect, Sleipen made no commitments. (Jin10)
