KOENIGSWINTER, Germany (Reuters) - The European Central Bank can raise its benchmark interest rate out of negative territory without major economic consequences because financing conditions would still remain exceptionally easy, ECB policymaker Ignazio Visco said on Friday.
The Bank of Italy's governor was speaking to reporters after a meeting of the Group of Seven financial policymakers in Germany.
