ECB Cites Rising Energy Costs for Rate Hike
The European Central Bank raised interest rates for the second time this year to 2.5%, as a result of rising energy prices due to the conflict with Iran, which could continue to affect inflation. The bank expects further gradual increases amid ongoing inflation, which reached 3.3% in August and may surpass 3.6% by the end of the year.
