ECB on Thursday will consider economic impact of Corona outbreak |
|
|
The European Central Bank's Governing Council meeting on Thursday is set to assess the eurozone economy and will analyze the implications of the outbreak of the Coronavirus. The ECB is expected to announce stimulus measures to deal with the economic repurcussions of the coronavirus. The ECB has recently opted against a coordinated move with the U.S. Federal Reserve System which slashed interest rates by half a percentage point, signalling that policymakers would prefer to wait-and-see until next week’s official meeting. Much will depend on how the virus and financial markets evolve in the coming days. This combination of fear and uncertainty, and the root problem originating clearly outside of the ECB’s reach, once again illustrates the ECB’s dilemma. The ECB decision will be announced at 13:45 CET, followed by a press conference with ECB President Christine Lagarde, at 14:30. Read more |
