Lagarde: The European Central Bank is ready to raise interest rates at any time during the meeting

According to Jinshi reports, European Central Bank President Lagarde stated that if the inflation shock triggered by the Iran war spirals out of control, the European Central Bank may raise interest rates as early as April.

Lagarde emphasized that it is "still too early" to make any decisions regarding interest rates, as policymakers still need to assess the nature, scale, and persistence of the significant rise in expected inflation caused by rising energy prices.
