Lower inflation, save the euro? The ECB is reacting much too late and half-heartedly

The monetary policy of the European Central Bank took a remarkable turn on July 21st. A 50 basis point hike in interest rates was unprecedented in their history. The move marks the end of a seven-year period of negative nominal interest rates.

At the same time, it was announced that the future interest rate development would no longer be determined as part of the so-called "forward guidance", but that decisions would be taken on a monthly basis depending on the development of inflation. A further hike in interest rates is expected in September, with prospects of returning to the 1.5 percent mark soon.

The about-face by the ECB serves two purposes at once.
