FRANKFURT, ⁠Feb 9 (Reuters) - ⁠Euro ‍zone inflation is ‍expected to stabilise at ​the European Central ​Bank's 2% target after dipping below it this year, ​but the environment remains ​uncertain, ECB President Christine ‌Lagarde said on Monday.

"Our updated assessment reconfirmed ​that inflation ⁠should stabilise at our ‌2% target in the medium ‌term," she told European ‌lawmakers in Strasbourg. "In the current uncertain environment, our ‍data-dependent, meeting-by-meeting approach to ⁠monetary policy serves us well."
