Jens Weidmann, European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member and Bundesbank President, said on Thursday that the eurozone’s growth in 2021 could fall short of ECB’s forecasts if anti-pandemic curbs are extended.
In its latest forecast, the ECB said that the eurozone economy was expected to grow by 4% in 2021.
“Measures of financing costs for households, companies may not yet fully reflect changes in bond yields,” Weidmann added.
