Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank

August 23, 2018--Held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 25-26 July 2018
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Mr C&‌oelig;ur&‌eacute; reviewed the latest financial market developments since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 13-14 June 2018.
The slope of the US Treasury and German government bond yield curves, measured as the difference between the ten-year and two-year yields, had continued their flattening trend of recent months.

In particular, between April and July 2018 estimates of the term premium in the United States had fallen deeper into negative territory despite factors which should have led, in principle, to a decompression of the premium, such as the gradual balance sheet wind-down by the Federal Reserve System and expectations of an increase in the supply of US Treasury securities based on a projected rise in the US fiscal deficit.

IMF Working Paper-Understanding Euro Area Inflation Dynamics: Why So Low for So Long?

August 22, 2018--Summary:
Despite closing output gaps and tightening labor markets, inflation has remained low in the euro area. Based on an augmented Phillips Curve framework, we find that this phenomenon-sometimes attributed to low global inflation-has been primarily caused by a remarkable persistence of inflation, keeping it low despite the reduction in slack.

This feature is shown to be specific to the euro area (in comparison with the United States). Monetary policy needs to stay accommodative to help guide inflation back to target.
