ECB raises Policy Rate to 1.25%, Makes no Signal for Further IncreasesAs expected, the ECB lifted the main refinancing rate by +25 bps to 1.25% at today's meeting. This is the first rate hike since July 2008 as the central bank feels obliged to combat inflation. However, the central bank left the interest rate corridor unchanged (the deposit rate and marginal lending rates were both increased by +25bp to 0.5% and 2.0% respectively). At the accompanying statement, President Trichet stated the current stance of monetary policy remains 'accommodative' but he did not signal further rate hikes in coming months.

In addition to increasing the amount of the Asset Purchase Program by about 5 trillion yen, as well as injecting as much as 18 trillion yen to the market, shortly after the disaster, the central bank offered 1 trillion yen in one-year loans for businesses in disaster areas. Interest rates remained at virtually 0%. Policymakers also downgraded their economic assessments for the first time since October 2010. |
