ECB executive board member Coeure put on the wires 19 May

  • mon pol can not "run the economy hot" as insurance against labour market risks once inflation stabilises
  • structural unemployment has not yet materialised meaningfully in EZ

"Should we reach a point where the path of inflation is expected to be self sustaining but long term unemployment remains high, there should be no doubt as to how I would decide regarding our policy stance"

  • has doubts about allowing inflation to overshoot 2% target
  • current recovery has, by and large, been driven by mon pol

Coeure is speaking at an event in Geneva

Yesterday he had this to say in an interview with Reuters.
