LONDON, Nov 19 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank

could prove a lot more dovish in its approach to monetary policy

than the market currently expects, Vincent Mortier, chief

investment officer at Amundi, said on Wednesday.

Markets currently show traders see little chance of the ECB

lowering rates over the coming year. President Christine Lagarde

has said several times the central bank is "in a good place"

with regards to monetary policy.

Mortier said the company was positive on European duration

and held an overweight position across what he called "the full

spectrum" of emerging market bonds.

Amundi is Europe's largest asset manager and manages 2.3

billion euros ($2.66 billion).
