The ECB decision is coming. What to expect.
Inflation at the ECB's 2% target encourages a wait-and-see approach The European Central Bank is widely expected to stand pat on interest rates on Thursday, after its president, Christine Lagarde, recently said policy was in a "good place," with inflation broadly stable at its 2% target.
