ECB's Schnabel: Further increases in key policy rates will be needed
|European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Isabel Schnabel said on Friday that further increases in the ECB's key rates will be needed, as reported by Reuters.
"The risks of a wage-price spiral are contained, provided inflation expectations remain anchored," Schnabel further added. ECB policymaker explained that she continues to call for a “robust control” approach to monetary policy amid uncertainty about the persistency of inflation.
