by · FXStreet

European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Martins Kazaks said on Friday that he doesn't see a case for rates to fall below neutral.

He further noted that there is “no need for the ECB to contemplate such a scenario,” and “that would require weaker baseline and substantial undershooting of inflation target.”
