Jan 19 (Reuters) – The European Central Bank will continue raising interest rates and leave them in restrictive territory for as long as it takes to bring down inflation to its 2% target, ECB President Christine Lagarde said on Thursday.
“We shall stay the course until such a time when we have moved into restrictive territory for long enough so that we can return inflation to 2% in a timely manner,” she said in a panel discussion during the World Economic Forum.
