3月2日,是欧洲央行召开会议决定利率走向的日子,正如金融市场普遍预期的那样,欧洲央行将指标利率调升25个基点至2.50%,这是欧洲央行自去年12月以来的连续第二次升息。欧洲央行的主要理由就是通货膨胀加速上升的风险高于经济滑坡的风险,换句话说,它认为经济已经在稳固复苏。2月份升息的还有瑞典,该国央行也将指标利率调高25个基点至2.0%。 On March 2, the European Central Bank held a meeting to decide the direction of interest rates. As widely expected by the financial markets, the European Central Bank raised the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.50%. This is the first time since the European Central Bank Second raise interest rates. The main reason for the ECB is that inflation accelerates more rapidly than the risk of economic decline. In other words, it believes the economy is recovering steadily. Sweden, which raised interest rates in February, also raised the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.0%.
