FRANKFURT, Feb ‌23 (Reuters) - ​Euro ​zone inflation and the European Central ‌Bank's interest rate policy ⁠remain in a "good place," ‌ECB President Christine Lagarde ‌said on Monday, repeating her long standing ​guidance, which signals that policy change is ⁠not being considered.

"I very strongly believe ​that we are in that good place," Lagarde ​told a ‌conference in Washington.

"Every step of the ⁠way we have to assess whether we are ⁠in that good place that ​I'm characterizing now, which, as a result, also imply that ‌we have to be agile and determine ‌whether something ⁠needs to be ‌done," ​she said.
