ECB chief Lagarde lays out three-part test for rate cuts
Quick Glance: ECB: Lagarde Emphasizes Data-Dependent Rate Policy
  • The European Central Bank (ECB) cannot pre-determine the number of interest rate cuts that will follow even after initiating rate reductions, as this will rely on incoming data, stated ECB President Christine Lagarde on Wednesday.

  • Several ECB policymakers are in favor of an initial reduction in interest rates from their current record highs, potentially in June. The current focus of discussion lies in determining the subsequent steps.

  • Lagarde aimed to temper speculations by highlighting the necessity of data-driven decisions. She stressed that even after the first rate cut, a fixed rate path cannot be predetermined. Adapting to new information from meeting to meeting is crucial.

  • Lagarde outlined the prerequisites for commencing rate cuts: deceleration in wage growth, ongoing decline in inflation, and internal forecasts confirming the return of price growth to the 2% target.
