ECB likely to cut rates at policy meeting

Economists expect the European Central Bank (ECB) to cut interest rates when policymakers meet on Thursday (March 10), and boost the amount of money put into the financial system through bond purchases.

The ECB's deposit rate is already minus 0.3 per cent which president Mario Draghi is expected to cut further by at least 10 basis points. The ECB has so far failed to make meaningful headway on inflation, despite ever-increasing stimulus with consumer prices falling last month at an annual rate of 0.2 per cent - the most in a year.
