ECB-Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank on September 7-8, 2022
October 6, 2022--Held in Frankfurt am Main
Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options-Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel started by noting that the narrative in financial markets had shifted since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting in July.
Initially, fears of a recession had dominated global asset prices and financial conditions had eased on the expectation that the pace of interest rate increases by central banks around the world would slow down, as a recession was perceived to do part of the job of bringing inflation back to the target level.
However, more recently the focus of investors had gradually shifted back towards a tighter monetary policy stance as inflation outcomes had continued to be higher than expected.
In this environment, there had been four key observations. First, volatility in interest rate markets remained at historically high levels, reflecting very high uncertainty regarding inflation, as well as heightened data dependence of monetary policy. Second, monetary policy normalisation in the euro area was now expected to proceed at a significantly faster pace than had been expected at the time of the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting. Third, the summer rally in risk assets had been halted and partly reversed by investors' reappraisal of the future path of monetary policy.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine Impedes Post-Pandemic Economic Recovery in Emerging Europe and Central Asia
October 4, 2022--The ongoing war in Ukraine has dimmed prospects of a post-pandemic economic recovery for emerging and developing economies in the Europe and Central Asia region, says the World Bank's Economic Update for the region, released today.
Economic activity will remain deeply depressed through next year, with minimal growth of 0.3% expected in 2023, as energy price shocks continue to impact the region.
So far, however, the region has weathered the storm of Russia's invasion of Ukraine better than previously forecast. Regional output is now expected to contract by 0.2% this year, reflecting above expectation growth in some of the region's largest economies and the prudent extension of pandemic-era stimulus programs by some governments.
