  • Furthermore, the BCB Chief said “in an environment of high uncertainty, we try to be factual, data-driven, report how we see things”, adding that “we will remain data dependent”.Other headlines included the following (via Reuters):
    • Unemployment is lower than expected, inflation is now gradually in a downward path.

    • We have been vigilant as inflation expectations remain unanchored for years ahead.
