   BREAKING BREAD
   
   Breaking Bread is a series aimed at finding common ground across a deeply
   divided America. Alexander Heffner, journalist and long-time host of PBS's
   The Open Mind, journeys from Maine to North Carolina and New Mexico to the
   Dakotas, sitting down for meals and candid conversations with powerful
   political figures on both sides of the aisle. Focusing on America's shared
   heritage rather than partisan talking points, Heffner seeks to draw out
   lawmakers by incentivizing empathy and compromise in pursuit of a new
   consensus.

The European Central Bank’s fight against inflation might require another
increase in interest rates, according to Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel.

“After a long period of high inflation, inflation expectations are fragile and
renewed supply-side shocks can destabilize them, threatening medium-term price
stability,” she said in a speech Thursday in St. Louis. “This also means that we
cannot close the door to further rate hikes.”

The German Executive Board member spoke a week after the ECB left interest rates
unchanged for the first time in more than a year. Markets and economists reckon
the deposit rate will now remain at 4% well into 2024, with inflation having
slowed dramatically in recent months. The gauge dropped to 2.9% in October.



She also said that while it took a year to get inflation to that level from
10.6%, “it is expected to take about twice as long to get from here back to 2%.”

Schnabel also highlighted that price and wage rigidities mean underlying
inflation is stickier and that two key conditions need to be met for the measure
— which strips out volatile elements like food and energy — to evolve in line
with ECB forecasts:

 * The growth in unit labor costs eventually needs to falls back to levels that
   are broadly consistent with 2% medium-term inflation
 * Firms will have to use their profit margins as a buffer to limit the
   pass-through of the current strong wage increases to consumer prices

She also compared the final push to getting inflation to the ECB’s 2% goal to
the concluding stretch in a long-distance race, which “is often said to be the
hardest.”

“The disinflation process during the last mile will be more uncertain, slower
and bumpier,” Schnabel said, warning of new shocks such as tensions in the
Middle East, strikes at LNG plants in Australia and global warming as elements
that “could derail the disinflation process.”

She called for perseverance and vigilance.

“The inflation target is now within reach,” Schnabel said. “But let’s celebrate
only once we have truly tackled the last mile.”

In remarks earlier Thursday, Dutch central bank chief Klaas Knot restrictive
policies will probably be needed for some time to return inflation to the 2%
target.



“Personally, and conditional on incoming data confirming the latest projections
from September, I see the current level of our policy rates as a good ‘cruising
altitude’ where they can remain for some time,” he said in a speech.
