European Central Financial institution president Christine Lagarde has come nearer than ever to claiming victory within the combat towards inflation, saying “the darkest days of winter look to be behind us” and that additional rate of interest cuts had been doubtless.

“The direction of travel is clear and we expect to lower interest rates further,” Lagarde stated in Vilnius on Monday.

Lagarde’s remarks are prone to bolster monetary markets’ expectations of extra ECB cuts. Traders have already been pricing in a sequence of back-to-back strikes within the benchmark deposit fee over the primary half of 2025 on indicators of weak development and diminishing worth pressures.

The ECB final week lowered borrowing prices for the fourth time this 12 months by a quarter-point to three per cent and watered down its hawkish language.

Inflation hit a report excessive of 10.6 per cent in late 2022, greater than 5 occasions the ECB’s 2 per cent purpose.

Annual inflation has fallen quickly over this 12 months, coming all the way down to 2.3 per cent in November. It’s anticipated to hit 2.1 per cent subsequent 12 months and 1.9 per cent in 2026, based on the ECB’s newest projections, revealed final week.

“There is now greater alignment between our forecasts and underlying inflation,” Lagarde stated on Monday, including that the ECB was now “close to achieving our [2 per cent] target”.

Excessive wage development, the ECB’s predominant remaining concern, would subside from 4.8 per cent this 12 months to three per cent in 2025, she stated: “The level we generally consider to be consistent with our target.”

Lagarde singled out the Eurozone’s weaker-than-expected financial restoration as a “downside risk” to inflation, declaring that “small sequential downward revisions to the growth outlook” since 2023 “amounted to a quite significant downgrade over time”.

Whereas the central financial institution final summer time predicted an annual 1.8 per cent enhance in GDP for 2024, it now solely foresees development of 0.7 per cent for this 12 months.
