On October 8, in Berlin, members of the European Central Bank (BCE) evaluated the decision made last month to raise interest rates by a quarter of a point to 2.5 percent. ECB officials described the measure as both "proportioned" and "solid."
The central bank's rate hike was implemented to help navigate and weather the high levels of economic uncertainty generated by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
