“ #Inflation exposes the deeply anti-democratic nature of how we access goods in a capitalist #economy. They put the blame on workers for excessive consumption, but economists admit it can be ascribed to exuberant and excessive #profit margins. There is no such thing as a deterministic moment defining the point at which prices have to go up, because wages went up.”

ECB-topvrouw Lagarde hint op renteverhoging bij ‘niet te langdurig’ hogere inflatie

Als de inflatie zelfs ‘niet te langdurig’ boven de doelstellingen van de Europese Centrale Bank (ECB) komt, dan rechtvaardigt dat al een aanpassing van het beleid van de ECB. Dat zegt Christine Lagarde, topvrouw van de centrale bank, in haar jaarlijkse toespraak. ‘Als de schok leidt tot een grote, maar niet al te aanhoudende overschrijding van onze doelstelling, zou een gematigde aanpassing van het beleid gerechtvaardigd kunnen zijn.’
