FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Italy's nominee to the European Central Bank's board, Fabio Panetta, struck a dovish tone in his first official comments on Friday, saying the inflation outlook was disappointing and warranted an easy policy.
"Recent data indicate that the inflation outlook seems to fall short of the Governing Council’s inflation aim of below but close to 2%, and hence calls for an accommodative monetary policy," Panetta said.
