ECB's Schnabel: I didn't say rates should be raised

Member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank (ECB), Isabel Schnabel, said that the interest rates will probably stay stable in the near future in the Faz Podcast on Monday.

Key takeaways

Rates will probably stay stable for quite some time.

I just believe there are more inflationary than disinflationary forces at work.

I didn't say rates should be raised. No rate hikes expected for the foreseeable future.

One should not expect a rate hike at present or in the foreseeable future."
