The European Central Bank announces its biggest interest rates increase as inflation sits at record levels and the 19 countries that use the euro head for a recession.
The European Central Bank has hiked its key interest rates by an unprecedented 75 basis points, signalling that further rises are likely.
It comes as the bank battles inflation at a half-century high, and as the bloc heads for a likely winter recession. The bank has revised its economic forecast, projecting inflation averaging 8.1% this year, 5.5% in 2023, and 2.3% in 2024.
