Macro - Weekly Briefings - Eurozone
After months (even years) of debates and swings, the ECB effectively embarked this week on a tightening cycle to fight "undesirably elevated" inflation. Although the announcement was widely expected, it still marks the end of an era. Net asset purchases, which started in mid-2014, will end by the end of this month and the monetary policy rate will be hiked by at least 25bps in July – the first increase in eleven years. The ECB stated that it will follow a "gradual but sustained path" of further increases.
