ECB on hold with no signs of a near term rate cut
by AIB Treasury's Economic Research Unit
The July ECB Governing Council meeting saw the central bank leave interest rates on hold. The deposit and refi rates were maintained at 2.00% and 2.15%, respectively. This was the first ECB meeting of 2025 where the central bank refrained from lowering rates. However, this outcome was very much in line with market expectations.
