Ifo's Sinn Calls on ECB to `Push' Euro Lower, Swiss Paper Says
Feb. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Hans-Werner Sinn, president of the German economic institute Ifo, said the European Central Bank should ``push'' the euro below the $1.20 level, the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger cited Sinn as saying in an interview.

``The best thing would be if we would move into the direction of $1.10 again,'' the paper quoted Sinn as saying in its Saturday edition. Sinn also said that if the euro would rise above $1.30, the economic institute would see it necessary to revise its growth forecast for the German economy.

Sinn said there is a 50 percent chance that Ifo will lower its economic growth forecast of 1.8 percent for Germany because of the strong euro.

``It could come better, that Germany will profit from the global economic rebound better than we expected. But, of course, the euro exchanged rate is a substantial risk,'' Sinn said.
