European Central Bank outpaces US Federal Reserve with half-point hike

The European Central Bank has chugged ahead with another outsized interest rate increase, underlining its drive to subdue high inflation even as the European economy slows and the US Federal Reserve eases its pace of hikes. The bank raised its key benchmarks by half a percentage point Thursday and vowed a similar move in March. The Frankfurt-based policymakers are moving aggressively to get on top of price spikes that have slowed but are still hurting households in the 20 countries that use the euro currency. The bank said it will stay the course in raising interest rates significantly at a steady pace and in keeping them at levels that are sufficiently restrictive to ensure a timely return of inflation to its 2 per cent medium-term target." The Bank of England also went big with a half-point hike Thursday, but the Fed pulled back a day earlier, slowing to a quarter-point hike. While ECB President Christine Lagarde essentially announced the move at the bank's December meeting, her

Lagarde says removing stimulus 'not enough', ECB may raise rates further

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde warned on Friday that the bank may have to raise interest rates beyond merely withdrawing stimulus and into territory that could restrain growth as the bank fights to control record inflation in the 19 countries that use the euro. We expect to raise rates further, and withdrawing accommodation may not be enough," Lagarde said in a speech at a banking forum in Frankfurt, Germany. She said the bank intended to bring inflation down in a timely manner and that how far we need to go, and how fast, will be determined by the inflation outlook. The ECB has raised rates at the fastest pace in its history to combat inflation that hit 10.7 per cent in the eurozone in October, the highest since statistics started being kept in 1997 and far above the bank's goal of 2 per cent. Inflation has been fed by high natural gas prices caused by Russia's cutbacks in gas supply during the war in Ukraine and by bottlenecks in supplies of parts and raw ...

European Central Bank pushes banks to speed up climate change work

The European Central Bank is warning that many of the financial institutions it oversees are moving too slowly to shield themselves and Europe's banking system from the impact of climate change, and it is setting new deadlines to meet those requirements. The ECB said some progress had been made but that a review of 186 banks published on Wednesday showed change was uneven and that the glass remains half full, top ECB official Frank Elderson said in a blog post on the central bank's website. The Frankfurt, Germany-based central bank for the 19 countries that use the euro currency set deadlines for banks to meet climate requirements by the end of 2024. The ECB, acting in its role as banking supervisor, is pushing banks to identify where they could face the risks of climate change and outline how they would take action. Banks are key to the European economy's functioning because most companies get the credit they need to operate from banks instead of from financial markets, the opposit
