MORNING BID EUROPE-Central bankers just can't be normal

* A daily view from EMEA Money and Politics Desk Chief Jeremy Gaunt. The views expressed are his own

LONDON, Sept 4 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank has dispelled any thought that it might be complacent about the poor state of the euro zone economy.

After its meeting on Thursday, Mario Draghi, the president, said economic growth was not as it had been hoped and inflation was not rising as predicted. Further, he pointed out that these new forecasts were researched and written before the Chinese financial market fall.

Draghi, who looked a bit glum, said things had probably therefore got worse since the forecasts were drafted.

It (Other OTC: ITGL - news) also became clear that more asset-buying quantitative easing (QE) is coming.

The ECB agreed that it would now allow itself to buy 33 percent of a given asset rather than the previous 25 percent. A bit arcane for many, but it was taken by financial markets to mean enhanced QE is on the way - probably by raising the current 60 billion euro a month spend to, say, 80 billion euros.

What is not clear is whether the euro zone's weakness will be a message to the U.S (Other OTC: UBGXF - news) . Federal Reserve, which meets the week after next when, at one stage, it was expected to almost certainly raise interest rates.

Our poll yesterday, taken and published before Draghi laid out the "downside risks" from the world economy, found that only 19 of 50 foreign exchange analysts expect the Fed to hike this month. It compared with all but just four in the same poll a month ago.

The G20, meanwhile, meets in Ankara. Look for them to be ferociously coy about criticising China.

Getting back to normal is tough. (Editing by Louise Ireland)
