FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank's policy measures, including its recently extended asset-purchase program, are delivering "tangible results" and will bring inflation back to the bank's target, the ECB's chief economist said on Friday.
"This complex package of policy measures has led to a significant easing in borrowing rates for the broad economy and should thereby continue to contribute to... the return of inflation rates in the medium term to levels closer to 2 percent," Peter Praet said.
"Early evidence confirms that the current policy measures are delivering tangible results."
