ECB: Lagarde, too soon to declare victory over inflation

(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 05 - "It is still too early to declare victory over inflation".

This was stated by the president of the ECB Christine Lagarde in an interview with the Spanish editorial group Vocento, according to whom "we are making progress", but "'there is still a lot to do".

"I know that people are suffering from inflation - he adds - especially the most vulnerable and exposed ones such as low-income retirees. At the ECB we believe that government measures should be targeted at this type of people" to then be revised when "energy prices will go down and those of food will stabilize".
