VIENNA (Reuters) - European Central Bank policymaker Ewald Nowotny said on Thursday that he would favor some measures to mitigate the unintended side effects of negative rates.
"There are attempts to have a discussion around negative interest rates," Nowotny said. "I would like to see a certain mitigation."
ECB President Mario Draghi said on Wednesday that the ECB would study whether there were such side effects and whether they needed to be offset.
