Miembro del Comité Ejecutivo del BCE Kazaks: No hay prisa por subir las tasas, continuará observando los datos

Golden Finance reports that on April 22, European Central Bank Governing Council member Martins Kazaks stated that there is no rush to raise interest rates, as current data is not sufficient to support such action. Kazaks said, “We still have ample room to continue collecting data and forming judgments.” Currently, inflation expectations remain under control, and so far, the pass-through effect of rising energy prices on the overall economy has been relatively limited. Oil prices have fallen back from their highs after the Iran war, and European natural gas prices are also well below the levels of 2022. Kazaks stated that the current 2% interest rate level neither stimulates economic growth nor suppresses economic activity. (Cailian Press)
