Strategy review
The aim of the ECB’s strategy review is to make sure our monetary policy strategy is fit for purpose, both today and in the future.
The strategy review covers all aspects of our monetary policy, within the framework of our mandate which is to maintain price stability. The review will be based on thorough analysis and take an open-minded approach.
As part of the strategy review, we want to hear opinions from across Europe, including those from citizens, academics, Members of the European Parliament and civil society organisations.
We will leave
no stone unturned
ECB Listens event
President Christine Lagarde and Chief Economist Philip R. Lane hosted the first ECB Listens event on 21 October 2020. The virtual event brought together a range of European-level civil society organisations to hear their views on the impact of the ECB’s monetary policy and communication and on the global challenges ahead. These insights will be incorporated into our ongoing strategy review.
A summary of the discussions will be available in due course.
