The Governing Council today decided to keep the three key ECB interest rates unchanged. The incoming information has broadly confirmed its previous assessment of the medium-term inflation outlook. Aside from an energy-related upward base effect on headline inflation, the declining trend in underlying inflation has continued, and the past interest rate increases keep being transmitted forcefully into financing conditions. Tight financing conditions are dampening demand, and this is helping to push down inflation. The Governing Council is determined to ensure that inflation returns to its 2% medium-term target in a timely manner. Based on its current assessment, the Governing Council considers that the key ECB interest rates are at levels that, maintained for a sufficiently long duration, will make a substantial contribution to this goal. The Governing Council’s future decisions will ensure that its policy rates will be set at sufficiently restrictive levels for as long as necessary. post: #ECB LEAVES MARGINAL LENDING FACILITY AT 4.75%; EST. 4.75% - BBG *ECB LEAVES DEPOSIT FACILITY RATE AT 4.00%; EST. 4.00% *ECB LEAVES MAIN REFINANCING RATE AT 4.50%; EST. 4.50% post:
