ECB će sniziti tri ključne kamatne stope ECB-a za 25 baznih poena, počev od 23. aprila 2025. godine. Shodno tome, kamatne stope na depozitni aranžman, glavne operacije refinansiranja i marginalni kreditni aranžman biće smanjene na 2,25%, 2,40% i 2,65% respektivno. Odlika je donet nakon ažurne procene inflacije, njene dinamike i snage transmisionog mehanizma monetarne politike. Očekivanja su da će se inflacija stabilizovati oko srednjoročnog cilja 2%. Rast plata se usporava, a profit delimično ublažava uticaj i dalje visokog rasta plata na inflaciju. Izgledi za rast ekonomija pogoršani su zbog rastućih trgovinskih tenzija. Povećana neizvesnost će verovatno smanjiti poverenje među domaćinstvima i firmama. Ovi faktori mogu dodatno opteretiti ekonomske izglede evrozone.
The ECB will cut the three key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points, starting on 23 April 2025. Accordingly, interest rates on the deposit arrangement, main refinancing operations and marginal lending arrangement will be reduced to 2.25%, 2.40% and 2.65% respectively. The award was made after an up-to-date assessment of inflation, its dynamics and the strength of the monetary policy transmission mechanism. Expectations are that inflation will stabilize around the medium-term target of 2%. Wage growth is slowing, and profits are partially mitigating the impact of still high wage growth on inflation. The outlook for economic growth has worsened due to rising trade tensions. Increased uncertainty is likely to reduce confidence among households and firms. These factors may further weigh on the eurozone’s economic outlook.
