ECB's Lane: With recovery, maximum achievable interest rate might be 2-3%
"Low interest rates are helping Germany get through the period of slower growth," European Central Bank's (ECB) chief economist Philip Lane argued on Wednesday and noted that many people thought Germany would slip into a recession.
"I firmly believe that the interest rate in the future will be higher because we have an easy monetary policy now," Lane added. "With recovery, the maximum achievable interest rate might be 2-3%."
EUR/USD remains on back foot
