ECB President urges govts to stay 'committed' to reducing public debt

Description

The European Central Bank President, Christine Lagarde, warns governments against adding to their public debt, as they look to ease the pressure on households and businesses from soaring energy costs. "Governments should pursue fiscal policies that show they are committed to gradually bringing down high public debt ratios," she says during a news conference, adding that policymakers should pick measures that are "temporary and targeted at the most vulnerable".
