The ECB has undershot its inflation target of just under 2 percent since 2013 and a slowdown in growth has raised the risk that price growth will ease further, despite years of extraordinary accommodation.

He added that the ECB would use the “coming weeks” to study its options, suggesting that action from the bank may come sooner rather than later.
