The European Institution has increased its deposit rate from -0.5% to 3.75% over the past 14 months, the fastest rate of monetary tightening in its history.

Overall inflation stands at 3.7%, compared to 3.2% a month earlier and 3.6% consensus. The increase in consumer prices from one month to the next stands at 0.6%, close to economists’ expectations, compared to 0.2% a month earlier…
