ECB Lowers Interest Rates: Key Decisions
On January 30, 2025, the European Central Bank decided on its monetary policy by lowering interest rates by 25 basis points from February 5, 2025. The main rates are now: the Deposit Facility Rate at 2.75%, the Main Refinancing Operations Rate at 2.90%, and the Marginal Lending Facility Rate at 3.15%. This decision will look to contain inflation and assist with the recovery of the economy in the eurozone, which should see inflation revert to the ECB target of 2% within the year.
Economic Context and Future Rate Approach
Though domestic inflation is still high, slowing wage growth will help in decreasing inflation pressures. A much more data-intensive approach would drive the ECB for future rate decisions, taking an extremely close assessment of the conditions prevailing in the economy. This session continues the set of easing policies by the ECB as the prevailing state of slow economic growth plus global uncertainties dictates that state. Overall, the combination of ECB policy cuts at the respective rates aims to maintain price stability while promoting a recovery in economies.
