Europe Drop-In: What will follow another ECB rate cut?

Given the amount of signalling by Governing Council officials, it would be surprising if the ECB didn’t cut rates at its October meeting. But how far will the Bank go to ease monetary policy from here, and how quickly will it get there?

Join our Europe team for this special online briefing shortly after Christine Lagarde's press conference on the big day about how the ECB will calibrate policy against the backdrop of a slowing euro-zone economy and signs of still-sticky services inflation. During this 20-minute session, the team will be answering your questions as they address key issues, including:

• What the latest ECB communications indicate about the policy path ahead;
• What the latest euro-zone activity data say about the health of the economy; 
• The disinflationary forces we think will drive headline inflation below target from next year.
