HELSINKI (Reuters) - The European Central Bank can continue cutting interest rates if confidence in the slowing inflation trend strengthens in the near future, Finnish ECB policymaker Olli Rehn said in a speech on Wednesday.
"Inflation continues to slow down but the path to the two percent target remains bumpy this year," Rehn said.
He added the rate cuts would help the eurozone economy recover, in particular the "fragile" industrial growth and subdued investments.
