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.
