The European Central Bank (ECB) has signaled growing consideration of rate cuts, according to the accounts of its October meeting. While inflation is expected to ease, mainly due to falling energy prices, officials remain cautious about domestic inflationary pressures, particularly strong wage growth and sluggish labor productivity. Despite the more optimistic inflation projections, the ECB stressed the importance of gathering more data before making policy changes. Policymakers emphasized that any decision on rate cuts would depend on the economic outlook and further evidence of inflationary pressures subsiding, signaling a careful and data-driven approach.
