Ludovic MarinKYIV (Reuters – Given the economic situation in the euro area, the European Central Bank will invariably raise interest rates slower than the U.S. Federal Reserve.
During a recent visit to Kyiv Draghi, a former president of the ECB, stated that the U.S. has full employment, and the inflation excluding energy prices and raw materials was significantly higher than the euro area.
Consequently, although interest increases are inevitable in the 19-nation currency bloc, “the pace for adjustment will be slower”.
