The Governing Council decided to raise interest rates by 25 basis points.
This decision is robust across a range of scenarios mapping how the current shock might evolve and affect the medium-term outlook for the euro area, says President @Lagarde.

Today we raised our key interest rates by 0.25 percentage points.
We are doing this because the war in the Middle East is driving up prices and we want to see inflation stabilise at 2% in the medium term.

When we talk about women who have gone far up in their careers, our focus is on their achievements rather than on the barriers that made the climb so steep.
We need to change how we measure commitment and how we share opportunity.

He contributed to maintaining price stability during a period of significant challenges, while also advocating for simplification, resilience and a truly single banking union in the EU.

There are three conditions for safeguarding central bank independence, says President Christine @Lagarde:
🔹 A clear mandate: price stability
🔹 Direct communication with citizens
🔹 Preserving room for manoeuvre in monetary policy
