Introductory statement by President Christine @Lagarde at the hearing of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs of the European Parliament ecb.europa.eu/press/key/date…

Lagarde: Supply shocks are becoming more frequent. We are well equipped to meet this challenge. Our updated strategy provides a clear framework to assess shocks, manage risks and calibrate our response.

Lagarde: The decision to raise rates is robust across the scenarios prepared by staff, meaning that in all scenarios a rate hike is warranted. Recent developments have remained within the range of scenarios considered.

Lagarde: To ensure inflation stabilises at our 2% medium-term target, we decided to raise the three key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points at our June meeting. With this decision, we remain well positioned to navigate the uncertainty caused by the war.
