Mr Guindos, who oversees financial-stability analysis at the ECB, repeated the current mantra of officials about inflation risks and the need to keep raising interest rates. His speech focused on how market and liquidity threats have shifted, noting that a correction in prices since the Russian invasion has already been under way.
“So far, this repricing has generally been orderly, but market volatility increased, leading to knock-on effects for margins and liquidity,” he said. “Asset valuations remain sensitive to the uncertain path of inflation, to monetary policy normalisation and to economic activity.
