“The European Central Bank (ECB) could raise interest rates into next year, causing pain for consumers as it tries to depress demand that is now increasingly adding to sky-high inflation,” ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane said on Saturday per Reuters. “At 0.75%, the ECB’s deposit rate is still too low as it continues to stimulate the economy, so the ECB’s job is not yet done,” ECB’s Lane added.

The policymaker also added that he doesn’t see a hard recession while mentioning that the ECB must be resolute on rates in October and beyond.
