The ECB has kept interest rates unchanged for the past year, but discussed a rate hike last month due to soaring energy costs pushing inflation significantly above the 2% target, with several policymakers signaling the necessity of action. Schnabel stated, "Given the scale and duration of the current shock, I believe a June rate hike is necessary at this point." "Even if the war ends today, energy infrastructure and global supply chains have already suffered significant damage, making a monetary policy response necessary. In terms of sustainability, the situation has actually exceeded our adverse scenario assumption, which presupposes a rapid normalization of oil prices." Schnabel also indicated that some second-round effects may have already begun to emerge, with several surveys signaling this. She said, "We are increasingly seeing this shock spreading to other parts of the consumer basket."ECB Executive Board member Schnabel: (Regarding rising bond yields) I have not seen any worrying developments.

While Agrawal listened to staff queries regarding Musk's intentions for the company, the prospect of layoffs, and the board's rationale for the transaction, he deferred to Musk on numerous points.


Musk has stated that he believes Twitter should be a free expression platform. Employees enquired whether former US President Donald Trump, who was permanently banished from Twitter last year, would be permitted to rejoin after Musk assumed control.


"Once the deal is completed, we have no idea which route the platform will take," Agrawal added, referring to the Trump query. "I feel that is a question we should address with Elon when we have the opportunity to speak with him."


Additionally, Agrawal informed employees that no layoffs were planned.


Bret Taylor, Twitter's board chair, sought to reassure employees that the agreement with Musk prioritized "operational continuity" until the purchase was completed.


"I believe we are quite confident that (the deal) enables this team to continue making the firm successful in the interim period between signing and closing the transaction," Taylor said.
