DAVOS, Switzerland - There are some early sign that underlying inflation in the euro zone is finally moving up but it is too early to become optimistic about this trend, European Central Bank policymaker Klaas Knot said on Friday. “We do see some initial signs of underlying inflation going up very, very, very slowly but it’s too early to be optimistic about that,” Knot said during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum.
The ECB left policy unchanged on Thursday but said that risks to the growth outlook have receded and also took a more optimistic view on inflation, which has undershot its target since 2013.
