We have shown our commitment to do what is necessary within our mandate to safeguard the stability of the euro. Only a currency whose future existence is not in doubt can be a stable currency. Is the ECB still focused on price stability? And is it acting in full independence?
I would like to state categorically that the answer to both of these questions is “yes”. Let me start with price stability. The ECB remains steadfastly committed to its primary mandate of ensuring price stability. All of our measures are designed to achieve this goal.
