The European Central Bank is approaching the end of its interest-rate cuts, according to two Governing Council members, as others declared inflation has been vanquished.

ECB president Christine Lagarde “summarised it nicely yesterday saying that probably we have almost finished the rate-reduction cycle this time around”, Estonia’s Madis Muller said the day after the ECB lowered borrowing costs for an eighth time in a year. “Regarding what lies ahead – no one can say anything for certain yet.”
