Key Interest Rates Cut by European Central Bank
TEHRAN (ANA)- The European Central Bank (ECB) announced its decision to cut its key interest rates by 25 basis points.
With this adjustment, the interest rates for the deposit facility, the main refinancing operation, and the marginal lending facility are now set at 3 percent, 3.15 percent and 3.4 percent respectively, the bank said in a statement.
The decision to lower interest rates was "based on its updated assessment of the inflation outlook, the dynamics of underlying inflation and the strength of monetary policy transmission," the statement said.
This marks the ECB's fourth rate cut this year, reducing rates from their historical highs.
