Vítor Constâncio: Growth in a more resilient Euro area Remarks by Mr Vítor Constâncio, Vice-President of the European Central Bank, on a panel entitled "The Global Economy: Prospects for Broad-Based Growth", at the 32nd Annual G30 International Banking Seminar, Washington DC, 15 October 2017. * * * Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a great pleasure to be part of such a distinguished panel.
In my remarks today, I would like to reflect on the euro area’s recent economic developments and prospects. In doing so, I will outline the role monetary policy has played – and will continue to play – in supporting the recovery, while also touching upon some of the additional policies required to firmly secure a self-sustained recovery.
