## Resource

Eurozone interest rates are on the verge of another hike as the ECB grapples with stubborn inflation at 3.3%, fueled by soaring energy prices and global supply chain disruptions. Despite a stronger-than-expected economy—evidenced by revised upward GDP figures—the central bank is moving cautiously, with Governor Gabriel Makhlouf confirming a likely 25-basis-point increase to 2.5% next week. He notes that current rates aren’t yet dampening growth and warns further hikes may be needed if inflation persists, though the ECB remains focused on data, with inflation expectations stable and wage pressures absent for now.
