Davos 2014: Eurozone inflation 'way below target'

[benzone]

The head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that deflation remains a real risk to economic recovery in the eurozone.

Despite signs of recovery across the world, Christine Lagarde said that potential risks must not be ignored.

One of these was the fact that eurozone inflation, at 0.8%, remained "way below" the 2% target set by the European Central Bank (ECB).

She was speaking on the final day of the World Economic Forum, in Davos.

Deflation can hinder growth, as prices and the value assets continue to fall.

System will collapse.
Or perhaps it will not but it will be stading on bail-ins, bail-outs, haircuts etc!

No, serious comments are not legitimized in the current reign.
