ECB making good progress but job not done, Lane says
August 24, 2024--The European Central Bank is making "good progress" in cutting inflation back to its 2% target but success is not yet assured, so restrictive monetary policy is still needed, ECB chief economist Philip Lane said on Saturday. |
The ECB cut interest rates for the first time in June after a record string of hikes, and policymakers are widely expected to cut again on Sept. 12, taking the deposit rate to 3.5%, a level that remains high enough to put a brake on growth. |
