The lack of pace in inflation , as experts warn and political leaders , is one of the main threats for incipient recovery in Spain and Europe. As has recently recognized the European Commissioner for the Economy Olli Rehn , a "long period of low inflation will damage the ongoing process of rebalancing the European economy ." For this reason , both from Brussels and other institutions such as the IMF or the Bundesbank itself ( German central bank) have released messages increasingly pressing the ECB to act . The latest was this Thursday Community Vice President and Head of Competition, Joaquín Almunia.
Pending that Eurostat , the European statistical office publishes its data on Monday , investors and analysts are betting that the ECB take some action against the risk of persistent low inflation in its traditional monthly board meeting next Government Thursdays. Remember that deflation is a long period and sustained over time with negative rates in the CPI for several months.
