Nemačka pušta inflaciju u 2021. godini iznad targetiranog nivoa od +/- 2%, najavio je predsednik Nemačke centralne banke (Bundesbank) Jens Vidman (Jens Weidmann). Rastuća inflacija verovatno će zahtevati pooštravanje monetarne politike. Posledice pandemije COVID19 nametnule su potrebu za snažnijom ekspanzivnom monetarnom politikom. Prema njegovim procenama sa rastom stopa inflacije u celoj Evro zoni, razgovaraće se o vraćanju na stari kolosek. Pozvao je Nemačku da se vrati na stroge okvire budžetskog deficita, insistirajući da se ostale ekonomije Evro zone računaju usmeravaju ka obaranju javnog duga po završetku pandemije. Ovo je prvi put posle dužeg vremena da se neko iz upravnog odbora ECB odvaži da primenjuje monetarnu politiku u skladu sa zdravom logikom, utemeljenom na već dokazanoj teoriji. Smatra da će merama monetarne politike kontrolisati rast cena, ne želeći tako nisku stopu inflacije kao 2020. godine. Predsednica ECB Kristina Lagarde (Christine Lagarde) ne deli mišljenje nemačkog kolege, navodeći da će proći još vremena dok se ponovo ne pojavi na dnevnom redu briga o inflaciji.
Weidmann: Insolvency figures will rise significantly | Deutsche Bundesbank
Germany will release inflation in 2021 above the target level of +/- 2%, announced the President of the German Central Bank (Bundesbank), Jens Weidmann. Rising inflation is likely to require a tightening of monetary policy. The consequences of the COVID19 pandemic imposed the need for a stronger expansionary monetary policy. According to his estimates, with the growth of inflation rates in the entire Eurozone, there will be discussions about returning to the old track. He called on Germany to return to strict budget deficit frameworks, insisting that the rest of the Eurozone economies are expected to be headed towards reducing the public debt after the end of the pandemic. This is the first time in a long time that someone from the governing board of the ECB dares to implement monetary policy in accordance with sound logic, based on already proven theory. He believes that monetary policy measures will control price growth, not wanting such a low inflation rate as in 2020. ECB President Christine Lagarde (Christine Lagarde) does not share the opinion of her German counterpart, stating that it will take some time until inflation concerns reappear on the agenda.
