The European Central Bank will “quite probably” cut interest rates at its next meeting later this month, according to Governing Council member Francois Villeroy de Galhau.

Inflation fell below the ECB’S 2% target in September and the core measure of price increases should gradually recede close to that level in 2025, the Bank of France chief said in an interview with La Repubblica.

He also said that market expectations for inflation in 2025 are below 1.8% — even lower than the ECB’s forecast.
