BCE ar putea majora din nou dobânzile / În România, efectul nu este direct

The European Central Bank is expected to raise interest rates further due to inflation risks linked to the Middle East conflict and eurozone economic trends. Isabel Schnabel, an ECB executive board member, indicated that current rates are insufficient to achieve the 2% inflation target. She emphasized the need for timely intervention before energy price increases affect wages. The ECB is preparing for a potential rate hike at its upcoming meeting, with a possible increase from 2.25% to 2.50%. This decision will depend on August inflation data and economic forecasts.
