Euro Area recession angst is building – Danske Bank

Why the ECB’s inflation strategy has stalled – ABN AMRO
To get the inflation strategy back on track, the ECB needs to maintain its highly accommodative monetary policy stance for longer. It may possibly need to add stimulus to get the economy running hot again depending on global economic developments. We expect the ECB to keep interest rates on hold until 2020. However, we see the risks skewed towards an even longer period of unchanged interest rates given the slow growth environment and subdued underlying inflationary pressures. Furthermore, we expect the ECB will announce an extension of its TLTRO programme.
