Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) -- European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said fighting the financial crisis doesn’t undermine the ability of policy makers to ensure stable prices.

“Our non-standard measures do not in any way impinge upon our capacity to design our monetary policy stance to deliver price stability in the medium term,” Trichet said today at a conference of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, today.
