The European Central Bank (ECB), in the decision it announced on Thursday at 14.15 CET (15.15 TSİ), raised all three key interest rates by 25 basis points: the deposit rate to 2.50%, the main refinancing rate to 2.65%, and the marginal lending rate to 2.90%; the new rates take effect from 16 September 2026.

According to the new ECB staff projections, inflation is expected to average 3.0% in 2026, 2.5% in 2027, and 2.1% in 2028.
