In an interview with Slovenia’s Delo newspaper, ECB Executive Board member Frank Elderson highlighted growing risks to economic growth across the Eurozone, noting that “a number of recent indicators suggest that risks of lower economic growth are already materializing.”
Elderson emphasized that ECB remains data-driven, and officials will approach the upcoming October 16-17 meeting “with an open mind.” He reiterated the importance of a genuine and open discussion among members, stressing that no decisions will be made in advance of reviewing the full range of economic data.
