In February 2025, inflation in the Eurozone decreased to 2.4%, down from 2.5% in January, as reported by Eurostat. The European Central Bank is poised to reduce its benchmark interest rate to 2.5% on Thursday, aiming to ease borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. Concerns over economic growth have heightened due to the stagnation in the final three months of 2024, exacerbated by cautious consumer spending and political uncertainties in France and Germany. Isabel Schnabel of the ECB remarked that recent economic developments could curtail the scope for future rate cuts, hinting at a potential increase in inflation risks.
