ECB's Kohler: If inflation outlook doesn't improve, interest rates will be adjusted
Quoting the statement of Martin Kohler, a member of the ECB's Governing Council, on Monday: If the inflation outlook fails to improve significantly, the ECB will soon need to adjust interest rates. Kohler said in an interview with the Swiss newspaper "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" that although the conflict in Iran has pushed up energy prices, it doesn't make much sense to predict the ECB's next move several weeks before the monetary policy meeting on June 11. When asked if he agreed with the market's expectation of an ECB rate hike in June, he said, "But if the situation doesn't improve significantly, an interest rate adjustment will be inevitable in the short term."
