PARIS (Reuters) - The European Central Bank has not reached the limit of what it can do on monetary policy, its chief economist Philippe Lane said on Monday.
Despite unprecedented monetary easing, Lane said that the ECB still had further tools in its toolbox if needed, but added that they would depend on particular circumstances.
"Let me emphasize that we don't think we're at a limit as of yet," chief economist Philip Lane told a Fortune conference in Paris.
"We do think that the bigger focus should be rather on what ... other policies can contribute to make this limits question less relevant, less interesting because the economy would be growing more quickly," he added.
