Recently, the General Station's “High-End Interview” column interviewed European Central Bank President Lagarde. When talking about her position on monetary policy, Lagarde said that she is an “owl faction.” ECB President Lagarde said: Actually, this is very interesting. I've been in this position for seven years. During this period, I have observed that all my colleagues and friends will always hold positions they think are appropriate in terms of monetary policy, either “hawks” or “doves.” But I've also seen that some people will switch from “dovish” to “hawkish”, or from “hawkish” to “dovish.” This shows that everyone will respond to the changing situation based on their own judgments and theories about monetary policy. People are willing to adjust their opinions and revise their analysis. This is a good thing, and it is also a positive sign. After all, the objective situation is also changing. I still belong to the “owl faction” because, in my opinion, my duty is to pay close attention to all kinds of information and listen to opinions from all sides. I hope that all decisions will be based on analysis and judgment, confrontation of opinions, and thorough discussions within the management committee, so that the final opinions can gather consensus to the greatest extent possible, and all members will share the corresponding responsibilities.
