ECB's Holzmann: Rates are at neutral level, no reason to become accommodative

update 2025.04.02 22:55

European Central Bank policymaker Robert Holzmann, who dissented to the ECB's decision to cut key rates by 25 basis points after the March meeting, argued on Wednesday that they don't need to become more accommodative, per Reuters.

"We had assumed inflation would come down," Hozlmann said. "As we are neutral and inflation is converging to target, there is no reason to become accommodative."

Market reaction

These comments don't seem to be having a noticeable impact on the Euro's performance against its major rivals. At the time of press, EUR/USD was up 0.25% on the day at 1.0820.
