ECB’s Villeroy We are not very far from the peak of inflation

European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau said on Tuesday that the Eurozone was not very far from the peak of inflation, as reported by Reuters.

“I don’t think we have to choose between fighting inflation and avoiding a recession,” Villeroy added and said the better economic environment makes their monetary tasks easier.
