The European Central Bank announced the outcome of an 18-month strategy review. Inflation target was raised to 2% from previous "below but close to 2%" - which would theoretically allow for inflation overshoots. The Central bank confirmed that HICP remains an appropriate price measure. Policymakers also said that they will be further incorporating climate change considerations into the monetary policy framework.
