The ECB Keeps Its Rates Unchanged

Tassi invariati: così ha riferito la presidente della Bce Lagarde dopo la riunione del 24 luglio

EU/ENG - No surprises came from the European Central Bank's July meeting: after eight consecutive cuts, the Governing Council in Frankfurt decided to keep key interest rates unchanged (deposits at 2%, refinancing at 2.15%, marginal lending at 2.40%). This decision is widely expected by analysts, who predict a final cut by the end of 2025.

The data-based approach prompted the decision presented at the press conference by President Christine Lagarde: with inflation perfectly in line with the 2% target, there was no urgent need to intervene before a crucial step like the entry into force of the tariffs imposed in August by the United States on products imported from the European Union.

The decision was postponed, at least until the September 11 meeting or even in the following months.

The overall picture described by Lagarde confirms moderate but resilient growth: first-quarter GDP surprised on the upside (+0.3%), supported by consumption and investment, with unemployment at 6.3% and wages slowing (+3.8% year-on-year).

At the same time, Lagarde did not hide the "exceptional uncertainty": trade tensions, the war in Ukraine, and conflicts in the Middle East are hampering investment. An ECB that remains vigilant, however, as the outlook could change rapidly depending on global political and commercial developments.

 

ITA - Nessuna sorpresa dalla riunione della Banca centrale europea di luglio: dopo otto tagli consecutivi, il Consiglio direttivo di Francoforte ha deciso di mantenere invariati i tassi di riferimento (depositi al 2%, rifinanziamenti al 2,15%, prestiti marginali al 2,40%). Una scelta ampiamente attesa dagli analisti i quali prevedono un ultimo taglio entro la fine del 2025.

L’approccio “data-based” ha suggerito la scelta presentata in conferenza stampa dalla presidente Christine Lagarde: con l’inflazione perfettamente in linea con il target del 2%, non c’era urgenza di intervenire prima di un passaggio cruciale come l'entrata in vigore dei dazi apposti ad agosto dagli Stati Uniti sui prodotti importati dall'Unione europea.

Si è optato per la decisione di rimandare,  almeno alla riunione dell'11 settembre o anche nei mesi successivi.

Il quadro generale descritto dalla Lagarde conferma una crescita moderata ma resiliente: il PIL del primo trimestre ha sorpreso al rialzo (+0,3%), sostenuto da consumi e investimenti, con disoccupazione al 6,3% e salari in rallentamento (+3,8% su base annua).

Allo stesso tempo, Lagarde non ha nascosto l'“eccezionale incertezza”: tensioni commerciali, guerra in Ucraina e conflitti in Medio Oriente non agevolano gli investimenti. Una Bce che resta comunque vigile poiché la prospettiva potrebbe mutare rapidamente a seconda degli sviluppi politici e commerciali globali.
