ECB's Knot: Not expecting a rate hike at next policy meeting

In an interview with Dutch broadcaster Radio 1, European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Klaas Knot said that he does not expect a rate hike at the next policy meeting, per Reuters.

"I think interest rates are currently at the right level for us and I don't think we need to change them in the very short term," Knot explained and said that the ECB will stay alert to signals indicating inflation remain too high.
