The ECB leaves interest rates at 2% despite the rise in inflation, at highs since 2023
The European Central Bank (ECB) has decided, as planned, to keep the cost of money with the deposit interest rate at 2%, for the sixth consecutive time since June 2025. The entity does not consider that the current economic disturbances, with a resurgence of inflation due to the energy crisis following the Iran war, justify at this time implementing a more restrictive monetary policy.
