During a statement on Sunday, Yannis Stournaras, a member of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) Governing Council, suggested the possibility of implementing a series of interest rate cuts in 2024. He indicated that a total of four rate reductions could be feasible, amounting to a cumulative decrease of 100 basis points (bps) by the end of the year.

Stournaras stated, “If inflation develops in line with our March forecast and if this trend continues until the end of the year, I believe that this year we will have reductions in key interest rates from the ECB.” He expressed personal confidence in the potential for four interest rate cuts of 25 basis points each throughout the year.

Nevertheless, he acknowledged the divergence of opinions within the ECB, mentioning, “Some colleagues are more sceptical and they think that rate cuts should be more moderate.”

Earlier last week, Stournaras indicated a perceived consensus within the ECB for a rate cut in June, emphasizing that the bank shouldn’t necessarily wait for the Federal Reserve to make the first move in rate adjustments.
