No reason why the remit could not be changed to have a target growth rate or something like that.
But if you had retired would you be happy at seeing your savings continually eroded? And its not nice either for poor families who have an effective inflation rate of closer to 10%(food and energy).
But I do agree that inflation is the only way out for Eurozone - it will buy a few more years before Eurogedden.Comment

Both he and his political masters have calculated that inflation is a small price to pay to avoid a bigger conflagration. And they are probably right.
Of course he has to play the official game in public while doing simething else in reality.Hard Brexit now!
