Feb 12 (Reuters) - The status of the European Central Bank's flagship crisis-fighting tool is unchanged after the assertion of Germany's top court that it exceeded the bank's mandate, ECB Executive Board member Benoit Coeure said.....

"Speaking to Reuters as part of a series of interviews with top policymakers across the euro zone, Coeure said the ECB had no need to use the so-called Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT) programme now.


With the prospect of the euro zone breaking up having receded sharply since 2012, the ECB is now more focused on weak price pressures in the bloc, where inflation is running at just 0.7 percent - well below its target of just under 2 percent.

"We're not seeing deflation in the euro zone," Coeure said. "We see low inflation, slowing increasing from the current low levels back to 2 percent."

To help money flow more evenly across the currency area, Coeure said the idea of cutting into negative territory the rate the ECB pays banks to hold their deposits overnight was "a very possible option".

"That is something we are considering very seriously. But you should not expect too much of it," he said of a negative deposit rate.

The ECB left policy on hold last week but President Mario Draghi put markets on alert for possible action in March, saying the Governing Council would have more information at its disposal by then, including new forecasts from the bank's staff that will extend into 2016 for the first time.

Coeure took over this month as the ECB's top negotiator in Brussels, taking on the key portfolio in a board reshuffle following Joerg Asmussen's departure. He also remains in charge of market operations, which would include running the OMT.

One element that would foster stronger euro zone economic growth is a revival in still moribund bank lending.

Coeure said the ECB's asset quality review (AQR), part of a series of health checks it is running on euro zone banks before taking over as supervisor of the financial sector later this year, could prompt banks to shed more assets."
