30 October 2025 Monetary policy decisions The Governing Council today decided to keep the three key ECB interest rates unchanged. Inflationremains close to the 2% medium-term target and the Governing Council’s assessment of the inflationoutlook is broadly unchanged. The economy has continued to grow despite the challenging globalenvironment. The robust labour market, solid private sector balance sheets and the GoverningCouncil’s past interest rate cuts remain important sources of resilience. However, the outlook is stilluncertain, owing particularly to ongoing global trade disputes and geopolitical tensions. The Governing Council is determined to ensure that inflation stabilises at its 2% target in the mediumterm. It will follow a data-dependent and meeting-by-meeting approach to determining the appropriatemonetary policy stance. In particular, the Governing Council’s interest rate decisions will be based onits assessment of the inflation outlook and the risks surrounding it, in light of the incoming economicand financial data, as well as the dynamics of underlying inflation and the strength of monetary policytransmission. The Governing Council is not pre-committing to a particular rate path. Key ECB interest rates The interest rates on the deposit facility, the main refinancing operations and the marginal lendingfacility will remain unchanged at 2.00%, 2.15% and 2.40% respectively.

Moreover, the Transmission Protection Instrument is available tocounter unwarranted, disorderly market dynamics that pose a serious threat to the transmission ofmonetary policy across all euro area countries, thus allowing the Governing Council to more effectivelydeliver on its price stability mandate.
