+++ Background: The Shadow ECB Council was founded in 2002 upon an initiative of Handelsblatt, the German business and financial daily. It is an unofficial panel, independent of the ECB/Eurosystem, and comprising prominent European economists drawn from academia, financial institutions, consultancies, companies and research institutes. The Shadow Council usually convenes by video conference on a quarterly basis. Its discussions take place before the official ECB Governing Council "policy" meetings. +++
