The outlook spurred talk again about “transitory” inflation that caused a major policy headache for the Fed.

The Bank of England held interest rates at 4.5% and warned against assumptions that they would be cut over its next few meetings as it grappled with deep uncertainty hanging over the British and world economies.

The Bank of Japan kept interest rates steady on Wednesday and warned of heightening global economic uncertainty, suggesting the timing of further rate hikes will depend largely on the fallout from potentially higher U.S. tariffs.

Με καθαρά κέρδη 82,9 εκατ. ευρώ, έκλεισε τη χρήση του 2024 η Τράπεζα της Ελλάδος. Το γεγονός θεωρείται αξιοσημείωτη επιτυχία αν ληφθεί υπόψη ότι τόσο η ΕΚΤ, όσο και η γερμανική Budensbank για παράδειγμα έγραψαν μεγάλες ζημιές πέρυσι.

Η Ευρωπαϊκή Κεντρική Τράπεζα θα πρέπει να συνεχίσει να χαλαρώνει την πολιτική της με σταθερό ρυθμό έως ότου το βασικό της επιτόκιο φτάσει στο 2%, δεδομένου ότι αυξάνονται οι κίνδυνοι για την ανάπτυξη και εξασθενούν οι πληθωριστικές πιέσεις, δήλωσε σε συνέντευξή του στο Politico ο Διοικητής της Τράπεζας της Ελλάδος Γιάννης Στουρνάρας.

Σημαντική υποχώρηση του πληθωρισμού στην Ελλάδα τα επόμενα δύο χρόνια προβλέπει ανάλυση της Τράπεζας της Ελλάδος (ΤτΕ). Ο δομικός πληθωρισμός, ωστόσο, εμφανίζεται υψηλότερος από της Ευρωζώνης.

Οι προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζει σήμερα η Ευρωζώνη στάθηκαν στο επίκεντρο της ομιλίας του Διοικητή της Τράπεζας της Ελλάδος (ΤτΕ) Γιάννη Στουρνάρα στους πρέσβεις των κρατών μελών της Ε.Ε. στην Αθήνα.

Hawkish comments from the Bank of Japan and sticky inflation are lifting bond yields to multi-year highs and pushing forward rate hike expectations, shaking long-held views that rates would not rise much in the historically deflation-prone economy.

ECB President Christine Lagarde told the European Parliament that inflation is easing and rate cuts are taking effect but warned of trade risks. She reaffirmed a cautious, data-driven approach and stressed the need for a digital euro to strengthen Europe’s financial autonomy.

Mexico’s inflationary environment is expected to allow policymakers to keep cutting the benchmark interest rate, the head of the Bank of Mexico told Reuters, as the fight to bring down inflation has entered a new phase.

Eurozone inflation unexpectedly ticked up in January to stay above the European Central Bank’s medium-term 2 per cent target for the third month in a row, but the rise was not expected to alter policymakers’ plan to continue lowering interest rates.

The European Central Bank (ECB) cut its benchmark interest rate again by a quarter-point to 2.75% on Thursday as inflation nears 2% and growth remains weak.

The U.S. central bank held interest rates steady on Wednesday and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said there would be no rush to cut them again until inflation and jobs data made it appropriate.

The Czech National Bank will consider holding billions of dollars worth of bitcoin in its reserves, Governor Ales Michl said on Wednesday, potentially the first shift into the cryptocurrency by a western central bank if it went ahead.

The Bank of Japan raised interest rates on Friday to their highest since the 2008 global financial crisis and revised up its inflation forecasts, underscoring its confidence that rising wages will keep inflation stable around its 2% target.

Europe must “be prepared” and anticipate the potential trade tariffs of newly inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde told CNBC on Wednesday.

An expected decline in interest rates could be stalled if the prospective tariffs of Donald Trump’s second White House administration bleed into markets and shore up inflation, UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti warned Tuesday.

The Bank of England (BoE) is open to discussions with Britain’s government about new ways to help boost economic growth by paring back regulatory requirements for the financial services industry, Deputy Governor Sam Woods said on Monday.
