Villeroy, who is also head of Bank of France, said that disinflation is even faster than was expected and that incoming data supports view of inflation returning to 2% target. Moreover, he said that absent any shocks, rate hike cycle in euro area is over already. Speaking on rates cuts, Villeroy said that ECB can look at them when the time comes in 2024.
