EACCNY Economic Update: Newsmaker with the ECB's Vìtor Constâncio
Fri. February 19, 2016 08:00 am - 10:00 am !Thomson Reuters |
Please join us for a joint EACC Reuters Newsmaker Breakfast on the work of the European Central Bank with ECB Vice President Vìtor Constâncio.
Reuters President and Editor-in-Chief, Steve Adler, will engage Constâncio in a wide range of topics, including the ECB's efforts to rebuild confidence after the currency union's near collapse in 2015, the bank's desperate fight to boost inflation, the euro area's near-stagnation and the legacy of a banking crisis that could hold back growth for years to come. Facing a renewed prospect of deflation, the ECB has promised to review its policy stance and possibly unroll further unconventional measures as soon as March.
Constâncio, a former Portuguese finance minister and central bank governor, has served as the ECB's number two since 2010, playing a key role in fulfilling ECB President Mario Draghi's promise to do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro and saving Greece from collapse. A former professor of economics, Constâncio also served as Portugal's central bank governor from 2000 to 2009 and is well known for his in-depth understanding of economic history and theory.
Guest of Honor: Vítor Constâncio, Vice-President & Member of the Executive Board, EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
Moderated by Steven Adler, President & Editor in Chief, REUTERS
