EZB-Rat erhöht Leitzinsen
21.07.2022 No English translation available
Der EZB-Rat hat die Leitzinsen im Euroraum um einen halben Prozentpunkt erhöht und damit die Zeit der Negativzinsen beendet. Der Zinssatz für Hauptrefinanzierungsgeschäfte liegt damit bei 0,50 Prozent, der Einlagensatz steigt auf 0 Prozent. Darüber hinaus beschloss der EZB-Rat in seiner Sitzung die Einführung eines neuen Krisenprogramms, das sogenannte Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI). "Das TPI wird das Instrumentarium des EZB-Rats ergänzen und kann aktiviert werden, um ungerechtfertigten, ungeordneten Marktdynamiken entgegenzuwirken, die eine ernsthafte Bedrohung für die Transmission der Geldpolitik im Euroraum darstellen", heißt es in einer Pressemitteilung der Notenbank.

Consumer sentiment in Germany drops to record low
22.07.2022 DE
In its Monthly Report, the Bundesbank writes that the German economy is likely to have pretty much stagnated in the second quarter of 2022.
