[ECB Governing Council Member Rehn Warns: Inflation Outlook May Face Downside Risks] According to a report by Jinse Finance, European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Olli Rehn has warned that consumer price growth may slow to below the 2% target. 'At present, we have roughly achieved this target—in that sense, the current situation is good,' the Governor of the Bank of Finland told the Karon Grilli podcast. 'However, in the coming years, downside risks to inflation remain—due to factors such as the strengthening of the euro, and the stabilization of wages and service inflation.' After eight consecutive 25-basis-point rate cuts within a year, officials are weighing whether further policy easing is necessary. Most officials seem to believe that maintaining the deposit rate at 2% is acceptable as long as no new shocks occur, while others insist that the possibility of further rate cuts should not be ruled out.
