In a move towards that, she said that officials must at their meeting in a march to discuss whether the language will be dropped from their statement after the decision, saying that monetary policy is still restricting the economy of the European region.
“I do not say that our monetary policy is no longer restricted,” said Shanabel. “What I say is that I am no longer sure whether it's still restricted.”
The merchants cut the bets on more eliminating the European Central Bank after the Shankaba comments. Investors price 72 additional basis points of discounts in 2025, compared to 76 basis points before they speak.

The sixth reduction in borrowing costs is widely expected since June next month, although decisions that exceed this are likely to become more difficult. While some officials want to support the affected European economy, so inflation is not less than 2 %, others say that monetary overcoming should not be retracted from the deeper economic weaknesses.

The slow economy can withdraw consumer price gains. The euro area was out of only 0.1 % in the last quarter of 2024, and this year it seems to provide little expansion at best.
Shenabeel said it sees risks to inflation expectations at the European Central Bank as “somewhat” in addition to the upward trend, recognizing the risks of energy prices.
She said: “Each of inflation in services and wage growth is still uncomfortable.” “Our expectations expect both slowdown. But this still needs embodiment.”
