ECB’s Centeno sees monetary policy pausing soon

In an interview with Portugal’s broadcaster RTP he said that the ECB “must be cautious so that the impact of rising interest rates on the economy do not exceed the minimum necessary to control prices.”

“We are reaching the time when monetary policy can pause, we are very close,” he said. “Not overreacting is a huge concern for every central bank.”

ECB President Christine Lagarde on Wednesday cemented expectations for a ninth consecutive rise in euro zone rates in July.

The ECB has raised rates at each meeting over the past year, taking its deposit rate to 3.5%, and promised more tightening as it attempts to curb inflation still running at three times its 2% target.
