Lagarde speech: Will decide if more action is needed once we reach neutral

Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), said on Monday that they will decide whether further policy action is needed once they reach the neutral rate, as reported by Reuters.

"We may have to take further measures if inflation is not at the target when rates reach neutral," Lagarde explained.
