ECB keeps three key interest rates unchanged
The Governing Council of the European Central Bank decided to keep the three key interest rates unchanged, with the deposit facility rate, main refinancing operation rate and marginal lending rate remaining at 2.50%, 2.65% and 2.90% respectively. The statement said that the continued rise in energy prices poses upward risks to inflation and downward risks to growth. Underlying inflation has been broadly stable so far, and wages have not yet shown a significant reaction. The APP and PEPP portfolios continue to shrink at a predictable pace, and the ECB will no longer reinvest the principal of maturing securities.
