ECB: Inflation Alarm Wakes Policy in 2022

Heteronomics

Heteronomics represents a different kind of economics. We believe analysis should delve into the details of what is really going on, rather than using overly simplistic assumptions to quick-sell stories. Independence from myopic institutional pressures allows us to focus on the realities underlying your asset allocation decisions, without the conflicts of the old market structures. Heteronomics targets the themes driving UK asset prices, offering the benefits of depth, independence and ultimately price.

The ECB announced an even more aggressive tapering of its asset purchases than we expected as it delivered a welcome return to explicitly state-dependent policy.
High inflation is hurrying policy towards the exit. We expect inflation to exceed the staff forecast again, encouraging the ECB to end net purchases with June’s EUR 20bn. 
Rate hikes “some time” later probably won’t be long, with our forecast for the first now three months earlier at Sep-22. Excessive core pressures are pushing global action.
