He\u00a0also noted that 2.5% could be around the neutral interest rate level. However, he stressed that monetary policy decisions must remain guided by incoming economic data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">He also said that the ECB\u2019s updated staff projections in September are expected to show subdued inflation and growth in the near term. He added that policymakers must also account for tighter financial conditions when assessing the appropriate policy stance, highlighting the impact of higher borrowing costs and restrictive credit conditions on economic activity.<\/p>\n<p>Radev\u2019s comments lean on the hawkish side, although they include a layer of cautiousness.\u00a0The ECB is widely expected to hike interest rates by 25 bps in September, bringing the policy rate to 2.50%. This was also confirmed by &#8220;ECB sources&#8221; which reported that the central bank is ready to raise interest rates in September but added that there&#8217;s little appetite to signal further tightening afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Giuseppe Dellamotta at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ECB&#8217;s Governing Council member Dimitar Radev said both the October and December meetings remain open for further interest rate adjustments, as policymakers should not wait for confirmation of second-round inflation effects before&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-437014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437014\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
