More (Nowotny speaking to reporters):

  • On inflation and unemployment … “I am concerned  … What I have presented here is not a really great success story. We had expected an upturn in the euro zone and we have an upturn – 2014 is better than 2013 – but it is weaker than expected.”
  • Dclined to discuss potential monetary policy approaches, citing the quiet period before an ECB rates meeting next week
  • “I cannot give any exact numbers for the euro zone (as) we will have the (ECB) forecasts next week, but it is no secret that we are seeing the economy tend to cloud up”
  • “In my view the central issue at the moment is the demand side. We have massive unutilised resources”
