The ECB’s inflationary bias will most likely be dropped, as the effect of the financial crisis and the US slowdown sends Europe’s economy into a spin that even the ever-optimistic ECB will be unable to deny. That outcome should moderate Europe’s inflation concerns.
一项相互对立的货币政策是无法被长久维持的。欧洲央行对通货膨胀的偏向很有可能会被放弃，因为金融危机和美国经济疲软的影响会让欧洲经济急剧下降，对于这一点甚至连一贯持乐观态度的欧洲央行也无法否认。这种结果可以缓和欧洲对通货膨胀的担心。
