Central Bank chiefs get to share their troubles this week

The trade-off between quelling inflation and cushioning growth is likely to be a recurring topic at the ECB gathering

President of European Central Bank Christine Lagarde will be joined by US Fed chair Jerome Powell and Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey at the ECB’s annual meeting in the Portuguese resort of Sintra.

When the central bank chiefs of the US, the eurozone, and the UK exchange views in public on Wednesday, the admonishments of politicians may still be ringing in their ears.

Just last week, US Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell was warned by Democratic lawmakers not to risk a recession, a message European Central Bank(ECB) president Christine Lagarde received in Brussels as well.
