The European Central Bank (ECB) risks undershooting its inflation target if growth remains sluggish, according to French central bank chief Francois Villeroy de Galhau. He emphasized the need for agility in monetary policy to avoid acting too late in unwinding past rate hikes, as markets anticipate further cuts in the coming meetings. Villeroy noted that if inflation stabilizes at 2% next year amid weak growth, there would be no justification for maintaining a restrictive monetary stance.
Francois Villeroy de Galhau, a member of the European Central Bank's Governing Council, emphasized the need for agility in interest-rate decisions to avoid lagging behind economic trends. He noted that while inflation remains a concern, the risk of falling below the 2% target is equally significant, particularly if growth continues to be weak. Current projections suggest inflation may reach this target by early 2025.

Farmers fear that the trade agreement will allow an influx of agricultural goods that do not meet EU standards, prompting renewed calls for action.
