Holzmann, a hawkish official of the European Central Bank: It is not the central bank's responsibility to boost the economy. Robert Holzmann, the ECB's governing board, said that it is wrong to think that the ECB's interest rate cut is simply to boost the economy. "It is not the responsibility of the European Central Bank to boost the economy, but the mission of the central bank is to stabilize prices," he said in an interview on Friday night.
