European Central Bank Managing Director Sleipne: Energy shocks are difficult to change policy temporarily, and slight inflation exceedance can be tolerated. On March 6th, according to Golden Ten Data, Sleipne, the Managing Director of the European Central Bank and the President of the Dutch Central Bank, stated that this week's rise in energy prices is not enough to change the current "good state" policy stance of the European Central Bank, and the European Central Bank can tolerate slight exceedance of inflation targets. Sleipne said that the European Central Bank has learned from the soaring inflation in 2021/22, but due to the fact that this energy shock originated from the Iran War, its essence is different and it is not appropriate to make too many analogies. He said, "My view on the current situation has not changed significantly and is still in a good position." He added, "It all depends on how the conflict develops." He also suggested that even if the March 19th meeting does not adjust policies, sensitivity analysis under the new forecast or consider other scenarios should be discussed. Sleipne pointed out that the European Central Bank can tolerate moderate and temporary exceedance of its inflation target of 2%, just as it has tolerated levels below 2% in the past few months.
