The incoming European Central Bank chief Christine Lagarde should shift monetary policy to make it comply with the bank’s mandate, the head of Germany’s ruling Christian Democratic party said in an interview.
Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, who took over as CDU party chief from Angela Merkel last December, said she expected Lagarde to respect and uphold the ECB’s mandate for independence and an inflation target of around 2%.
