Where one would use the word problem, Christine Lagarde usually opt for challenge. Public speeches of the managing director of the International Monetary Fund ( IMF) are plagued with this euphemism , when issues such as low productivity , unemployment and poverty are challenges are problems , and the challenge is to solve them. But today , Thursday , Lagarde did not put hot packs and started the press conference of the spring meetings of the agency warning of low inflation in Europe : " We are concerned about this potential risk in you advance economies and the euro area in particular " , said in his introduction pronunciation rescued "challenge" .

The IMF has continued to shake the danger of deflation during the week. You have to go back many decades to see such concern for the timid advance in prices. Inflation has historically troubled upward , has been a constant fear in Europe and a nightmare in Berlin, but the virulence and duration of this crisis has taken a turn and that has led to the first head of the IMF to warn that " prolonged low inflation would hurt both growth and employment."
A similar warning from Lagarde fell like a thunderbolt on the European Central Bank ( ECB) last week, and this pushed the European body on the eve of its monthly monetary policy meeting . Now the IMF has not stopped putting it as one of the main dangers for European renewal , although this time the French would assume that the Frankfurt-based institution would act : "Anima that the ECB has reiterated its commitment to use unconventional measures necessary , "he said . "I think it will now be a matter of timing ," he added .
Unconventional measures
These "unconventional measures " include from a reduction in interest rates (already at 0.25% ) , injections of cheap credit or asset purchases to stimulate demand , credit and pull on prices. Why, using the jargon of monetary policy, is to launch the printing money. The CPI rose 0.5 % in March in the euro zone, the lowest level since 2009 , and Spain is, according to IMF estimates , the country most at risk of deflation , understood as a widespread and persistent fall in prices which depresses the economy further .
Immersed the country in a difficult process of internal devaluation ( drop in wages and costs) , low domestic prices are a problem because they make it difficult to pay the debt ( the actual weight goes up ) and also abroad since low inflation euro partners much of this recovery effort competitiveness eat .
Lagarde , who had a meeting scheduled with the ECB, took pains to emphasize that his view of the problem was aligned with the European bank , but it is not so: while the European authority is declared ready but considers that the danger is not imminent the IMF does believe that these proceedings should be conducted as soon as possible . "We respect the criteria the ECB ," he said , however . "Things are quite obvious , the ECB has long inadvertently act and has now come to them the problem of deflation over ," says the analyst of a central bank in Washington these days , under the appointment of the IMF.
