European Central Bank Governing Council member Martins Kazaks stated that interest rate cuts are nearing their conclusion, provided the baseline scenario of inflation stabilizing at 2% materializes in coming months.
However, Kazaks emphasized the need of examining alternative inflation-control scenarios and expressed the ECB officials’ willingness to take necessary measures regardless of the US-influenced trade uncertainties affecting consumer prices.
The official added that if an inflationary or deflationary risk scenario is realized, the ECB monetary policy will be adjusted accordingly.
