(opens the publisher’s site)The European Central Bank raised rates to 2.5% while the US Federal Reserve and Bank of England weigh decisions next week as war-driven energy prices keep inflation elevated.
- The European Central Bank has raised interest rates to 2.5%, citing inflation set to remain well above its 2% target.
- The IMF said the energy shock from the war had not ended after six months, and cut its 2026 growth forecast to 3% from a 3.5% average.
- Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said the central bank's focus should be on slowing price rises, with Deutsche Bank economists calling a rate hike the most likely outcome.
- The IMF said global public debt is approaching 100% of GDP, the highest level since World War II.
