ECB inflation target "long way off": German experts

BERLIN, May 30 (Xinhua) -- The European Central Bank's (ECB) goal of keeping inflation below 2 percent "remains a long way off," the German Leibniz Center for European Economic Research (ZEW) said on Tuesday.

Despite an expected gradual slowdown in inflation in the eurozone, the ECB target is unlikely to be reached before 2026, according to a survey of 181 financial experts conducted by the Mannheim-based institute.
