Creditele s-ar putea scumpi din nou în Europa: BCE avertizează că dobânzile trebuie să crească

The European Central Bank is expected to raise interest rates further due to inflation risks from 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 warned that high energy costs could keep inflation above target for an extended period, necessitating additional tightening. 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.
