Odaily Planet Daily News According to the text released by the Greek central bank on Thursday, European Central Bank Governing Council member and Governor of the Greek central bank Stournaras said in an interview with Skai radio: "The European Central Bank's benchmark interest rate should be reduced to around 2% by the fall of 2025." He stated that this forecast would still be affected by "unforeseen circumstances" and mentioned risk factors in Europe and the United States. Economists and investors believe that as the inflation rate stabilizes at the target of 2%, the European Central Bank will cut interest rates at every meeting before mid-2025, as the region's economy is struggling.
