Giorgia Meloni criticizes the European Central Bank for raising interest rates
by SEAD DEDOVIC | VIEW 719
There have been a lot of negative reactions around the world as a result of the increase in interest rates by the European Central Bank. The consequences of such a step can vary; some potentially positive and some potentially negative; depending on how it is implemented.
Among those who do not support these moves by the ECB is Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is one of those who do not support such moves by the ECB. Although Meloni knows that inflation is a big problem and that some measures must be taken to combat it, she is opposed to the way in which Europe is trying to fight it.
"It is right to fight inflation decisively, but to many people, the simplistic recipe of raising interest rates followed by the European Central Bank does not seem like the right way to go," Meloni said.
Christine Lagarde: We are not thinking about pausing that process
In recent weeks, the European Central Bank has raised interest rates to their highest level in the last 20 years in an attempt to increase economic growth.
In the coming period, it is expected that the increase will even be greater than it is now. This can be attributed to several factors, but the biggest one is the continuous rise in inflation. The president of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, has stressed that the ECB will not stop this process in the near future.
In order to improve the situation, they are doing everything in their power to make it better. "We are not thinking about pausing that process. The European Central Bank still has grounds to make interest rates sufficiently restrictive," said Christine Lagarde.
It would be interesting to know what effect this will have on the economic situation in the long run, and whether it will be able to provide citizens with what they want. Inflation is one of the most serious problems facing the world today. The level of dissatisfaction expressed by citizens is increasing and the question is how everything will end up.
