Euro zone deflation risks balanced, ECB's Kazimir says

BRATISLAVA (Reuters) - The risk of deflation in the euro zone is balanced but it is better for the European Central Bank to act preventively than to face a costly recovery, ECB Governing Council member Peter Kazimir said on Wednesday.

Kazimir added that easy monetary policy was likely to stay for an extended period, especially as the coronavirus pandemic has brought about a period of extraordinary volatility.
