FRANKFURT (Reuters) -The European Central Bank's latest rate cut will help inflation bounce back to its 2% goal after an expected sag over the next year and a half, the ECB's chief economist Philip Lane said on Wednesday.
"This cut helps ensure that the projected negative inflation deviation over the next eighteen months remains temporary and does not convert into a longer-term deviation of inflation from the target," Lane said. "This cut also guards against any uncertainty about our reaction function."
