Analysts anticipate cautious approach from ECB

  • ECB expected to cut growth and inflation forecasts
  • Interest rates to remain unchanged
  • ECB cautious about acting too quickly
  • Expectations of interest rate cuts in 2024

The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to cut its growth and inflation forecasts but leave interest rates unchanged at its upcoming meeting. Despite signs of progress in its fight against rising prices, the ECB is waiting for clearer evidence that inflation has started to drop. The bank is expected to lower its growth and inflation forecasts for the European Union’s economy, indicating that its policies have started to work. However, the ECB remains cautious and is unlikely to signal interest rate reductions too soon. Financial markets are anticipating interest rate cuts in 2024, but the ECB will wait for confirmation of falling wage inflation before taking action.
