ECB policy makers see no rush for cut ininterest rate


That will make disappointing reading for policymakers at the European Central Bank (ECB), who are expected to signal today a bias towards cutting its already-negative deposit rate this year to try to boost growth and inflation

Frankfurt: European Central Bank (ECB) policy makers aren’t yet ready to rush into additional monetary stimulus at this month’s meeting, preferring instead to wait for more data on the economy, according to eurozone central-bank officials.

While Governing Council members agree that they could act on July 25 if the outlook deteriorates, they are currently leaning toward the following meeting in September when they’ll have updated economic forecasts to back up their decision, the people said.
