  • Account Of The Monetary Policy Meeting Of The Governing Council Of The European Central Bank Held In Frankfurt Am Main On Wednesday And Thursday, 9-10 March 2016

    Date 07/04/2016

    1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options

The potential for a lasting rebound in the oil market was unclear, according to market participants. Market-based indicators of inflation expectations had continued to broadly follow the price of petrol, but not the recent rebound in the price of crude oil, and the five-year forward inflation-linked swap rate five years ahead had reached a historical low of 1.36% on 29 February.
