Still, Knot warned that it could still take some time before inflation, at 6.1% in May, is fully under control.
"Because inflation was high for a long period, underlying inflationary pressures have built up," Knot said in a speech.
The ECB's consumer expectations survey also included a new nugget that could support arguments for more cautious policy tightening.
