ECB Executive Board Member Schnabel: Household Inflation Expectations Adjusting Rapidly

ECB's Villeroy stated that there are not yet sufficient signs to raise interest rates, despite the ECB's recent decision to maintain the deposit rate at 2.00%. Policymakers are adopting a data-dependent approach amid rising inflation risks and uncertainty due to the Middle East conflict. While longer-term inflation expectations remain stable, short-term pressures have increased. Officials suggest that a June rate hike is possible if inflation does not improve, indicating a potential shift towards tightening monetary policy depending on future data.

- European Central Bank (ECB) President Villeroy stated that there are currently insufficient signs to raise interest rates, although an increase may occur if secondary effects emerge.  
- The ECB maintained its key interest rate at 2.00% during the April 30 meeting, emphasizing a data-driven, meeting-by-meeting approach due to heightened uncertainty.  
- Since the meeting, a more hawkish tone has emerged among ECB officials, suggesting that tighter policies may be imminent if inflation risks persist, with June identified as a critical decision point influenced by upcoming inflation and energy market data.
