The European Central Bank (ECB) has cut key interest rates by 25 basis points, aligning with expectations as inflation cools. The new rates are 3.50% for the deposit facility, 3.65% for the refinancing rate, and 3.90% for the marginal lending rate. Inflation is expected to rise later this year but should trend downward towards the ECB's target by the second half of 2024. Economic growth forecasts have been slightly adjusted downward due to weaker domestic demand.
