“The euro-area economy is headed for a healthy rebound once coronavirus restrictions come to an end, but investors still need to brace for a bumpy exit from unprecedented stimulus, European Central Bank Governing Council member Pierre Wunsch said. “A lot of the conditions are met for a sustained recovery when we get out of lockdown, and if it’s not enough then we’ll have to do more,” Wunsch said in an interview on Tuesday. “I hope that at some point we’re going to discuss an exit, because it will show that our policy is effective. But exit is never a piece of cake.”
