🇵🇹🇪🇺 Olá from Sintra!. I’m here for this year’s #ECBForum on Central Banking, where I’ll be talking to central bankers and academics from all over the world. In a time of high unpredictability, we’re focusing on adapting to macroeconomic shifts and what it means for our policies.

The new environment gives many reasons to worry. One thing the euro area citizens we serve do not need to worry about is our commitment to price stability. The ECB is committed to its mandate and will keep itself and its tools updated to be able to respond to the new challenges.
