Inflation : la BCE augmente ses 3 taux directeurs de 25 points de base

The European Central Bank (ECB) raises interest rates

With soaring inflation in recent years, central banks around the world have been forced to review their monetary policies. It is therefore in this dynamic that the ECB announced on Thursday that it was raising its 3 key rates by 25 basis points.

In this way, the interest rate for the main refinancing operations goes to 3.75%, those of the marginal lending facility to 4%, and 3.25% for the deposit facility. These measures will take effect from May 10.

The purpose of these rate hikes is to bring inflation down to 2%while it was 7% in April in the euro zone:

If the rate hikes have started to produce their effect, there is still a long way to go and the ECB indicates that these will be maintained as long as necessary :

“Future decisions by the Governing Council will ensure that policy rates are reduced to levels restrictive enough to allow inflation to return quickly to the medium-term objective of 2% and will be maintained at these levels for as long as necessary. »

In addition, Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, specified in her speech informing about this rate hike that April food inflation was 13.6%. As for inflation excluding food and energy, it is 5.6%.

I timidly discovered the world of blockchain at the end of 2018 during my quest for financial freedom. Initially invested moderately, it was only two years later that I took the gamble of betting everything on the movement that was taking shape then. I then dedicate 2021 to training myself better to acquire more knowledge and seriousness. As I often like to say: I still have a billion things to learn. And what I do know, I want to share with you.
