Why is there an anxious conversation about inflation in Europe? WHY? Core just dipped below 1%. The more I think about the Weidmann tortoise analogy the more telling it seems.

ECB has massively undershot its price stability target since 2012.

The inflation gap since 2012 (cumulated deviations of headline HICP relative to a 2% trend) amounts to 8%!

Still, hawks are freaking out over inflation risks, pushing for tighter policy...

GDP up 2.3% in April = retail/some hospitality reopening. Slower growth than in last summer’s reopening reflects smaller falls in 2nd lockdown ie we’d better adjusted to lockdown activity by then. We’ve still got a long way to go: economy remained 3.7% below pre-pandemic levels
