## Resource

European central banks brace for a high-stakes summer as they navigate inflation’s stubborn grip, balancing the need to cool prices without crashing the economy. The ECB and Bank of England face familiar pressure — having been criticized for past missteps, including delayed action in 2022 and premature tightening in 2011. With inflation still above targets and global tensions simmering, both institutions must tread carefully: raise rates too little and inflation spirals; too much and growth stalls. Markets expect the ECB to hike by 25 basis points while the BoE may hold steady, signaling cautious tightening. Inflation in the eurozone hovers at 3.2%, while the UK sits at 2.8%, with energy prices and geopolitical risks adding uncertainty. Economists debate whether further hikes are justified — some warn of a looming downturn — as both banks weigh history, data, and the delicate art of monetary policy.
