PARIS, Feb 22 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank could cut its deposit rate down to 2% by this summer, kingslot96 said Bank of France head and ECB policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau in an interview published on Saturday.
"Seen from where we are today, we could be at 2% by the coming summer," he told the magazine Alternatives Economiques.
Villeroy also reaffirmed that sector consolidation among European banks could make them more competitive on a global level.
On January 30, the European Central Bank cut its deposit rate by 25 basis points to 2.75%, and policymakers guided for a further reduction in March as concerns over lacklustre economic growth supersede worries about persistent inflation.
