ECB's Lagarde: Second wave of COVID adds to uncertainty

The economic recovery in the euro area is uneven, incomplete and asymmetric, Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, said on Friday, as reported by Reuters.

"The second wave of COVID adds to uncertainty," Lagarde added. "There should be no complacency."
