LONDON (Reuters) - The European Central Bank won't be able to ignore the risks if the coronavirus gains a firm foothold in Europe, ECB Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel said on Thursday.
In response to a question on how monetary policy can respond to coronavirus, Schnabel said: "If it turns out that the coronavirus becomes more persistent...we cannot look through it."
"We're still facing a lot of uncertainty over how coronavirus will evolve," she added.
Money markets have started pricing in another 10 basis points cut to the ECB's already-negative interest rates by the end of the year.
