"Monetary policy is appropriately tight and needs to remain so in 2024," Kammer told a news conference. "For all intents and purposes, (the deposit rate) should be held at that level or close to that level throughout 2024." Kammer warned the ECB against cutting rates too soon because that would require even more costly policy tightening later on. While the IMF sees price growth back at target in 2025, an exceptionally tight labour market could push this date back to 2026, it warned. Real wages also have some way to go catch up with inflation and this could also keep up the price pressure, the IMF said.

That's despite Congress recently passing a short-term funding package that averted a U.S. government shutdown but dropped $6 billion in aid to Ukraine.

Ukraine is “making good progress” on passing legislation on a specialized anti-corruption prosecutor, said IMF Ukraine mission chief Gavin Gray.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) logo is seen outside the headquarters building in Washington, U.S., September 4, 2018. The IMF said last week its mission had begun its second review of a $15.6 billion multi-year loan program for the country. The four-year programme for Kyiv is part of a $115-billion global package to support the economy as Ukraine battles Russia's invading forces. "An IMF team, led by Uma Ramakrishnan, Deputy Director of the Fund's European Department, starts meetings today in Kyiv with the Ukrainian authorities and other stakeholders," Stepanyan said in a statement. "The high-level engagement will focus on policy goals and challenges in the context of Ukraine’s program supported by the IMF Extended Fund Facility (EFF) Arrangement."

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailIMF's Kammer: Further ECB tightening is required to defeat inflationAlfred Kammer, director of the European department at the International Monetary Fund, says core inflation is persistently high and "there's nothing worse than pausing an inflation-fighting effort too early … because if you need to do it a second time, the costs to the economy are so much larger."
Low and stable inflation is good for markets and the economy, so central banks had to show their seriousness on inflation, Tannenbaum added. Central banks softened rate rises with communication that was mindful of instability risks, showing reassuring "humility", said Perkins. "The bank resolution framework created after the great financial crisis," said Francesco Papadia, senior fellow at Bruegel and former ECB director general for market operations, "is proving difficult to implement." Reuters Graphics4/ UNITED WE STANDAfter CS's rescue, the Fed and other big central banks supported market liquidity with dollar swap lines. Amundi's Pradhan said the "case by case" central bank responses to individual lenders failing in March exposed the lack of a coordinated bank resolution system.
