Dobânzile ar putea crește iar în Europa. Războiul din Iran și energia scumpă pun presiune pe BCE

The European Central Bank is expected to raise interest rates by 0.25 percentage points due to rising energy prices linked to the Middle East conflict. This would mark the second increase this year, with rates potentially rising from 2.25% to 2.50%. Despite higher fuel costs, the eurozone economy has shown resilience, prompting discussions of further tightening if inflation remains high. Financial markets anticipate additional rate hikes this year and next, although some economists suggest the upcoming increase may be the last for now. The ECB will also release updated economic and inflation forecasts, with inflation currently exceeding 3%.
