ECB: Meeting of 29-30 January 2025 Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank
February 27, 2025-- Held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 29-30 January 2025
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel noted that the financial market developments observed in the euro area after October 2024 had reversed since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 11-12 December 2024.
The US presidential election in November had initially led to lower euro area bond yields and equity prices.
Since the December monetary policy meeting, however, both risk-free yields and risk asset prices had moved substantially higher and had more than made up their previous declines. A less gloomy domestic macroeconomic outlook and an increase in the market's outlook for inflation in the euro area on the back of higher energy prices had led investors to expect the ECB to proceed with a more gradual rate easing path.
A bounce-back of euro area risk appetite had supported equity and corporate bond prices and had contained sovereign bond spreads. While the euro had also rebounded recently against the US dollar, it remained significantly weaker than before the US election.

Geopolitical and macroeconomic developments driving market uncertainty
February 13, 2025--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, today publishes its first risk monitoring report of 2025, setting out the key risk drivers currently facing EU financial markets. ESMA finds that overall risks in EU securities markets are high, and market participants should be wary of potential market corrections.
Structural developments
Market-based finance: The financing of European corporates lost momentum in 2024. The market environment remains challenging, and equity issuance stayed weak overall. Corporate bond issuance fell slightly in 2H24 but remained close to historically high levels. Given the upcoming corporate bond maturity wall from 2025 to 2028, with 47% of debt maturing in this period, debt sustainability remains a risk.
