The European Central Bank can keep raising rates to a “sufficiently restrictive level” without worrying about financial stability, according to Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel.
“The ECB can continue to do whatever is needed to bring inflation back to our 2% target in a timely manner,” she said in a speech in London on Friday. “This implies raising rates to a sufficiently restrictive level and keeping them at that level for as long as necessary.”
