Finland's Erki Liikanen on the wires

  • ECB has readiness to use more measures if needed
  • ECB's decisions gave strong signal to the market
  • There was a very broad majority at last weeks meeting
  • Eurozone monetary policy strongly supports growth

His comments come at a presser after the Bank of Finland released it's latest forecasts. His comment on monetary policy "strongly supporting growth" is very evident as his bank said that Finnish GDP would shrink by 0.1% this year. They also see 2016 GDP at 0.7% (MOF has 1.4%) and 2017 at 1.0% (MOF 1.4%)
