[Barclays: ECB Expects to Keep Rates Unchanged in December] 1. Barclays has revised its forecast for the European Central Bank's (ECB) interest rate path, now expecting the central bank to maintain current interest rates at its December meeting, down from its previous expectation of a 25 basis point cut. 2. The bank noted that the ECB kept interest rates at 2% for the third consecutive meeting, stating that current policy is in a "good position," while emphasizing the continued resilience of the Eurozone economy in the face of uncertainty and the receding risks. 3. Based on this assessment, Barclays further adjusted its long-term outlook, expecting the ECB to maintain stable interest rates throughout 2026. In its report on Thursday, the institution analyzed that the ECB has consistently failed to provide clear and firm forward guidance on how long it can maintain its current policy stance.
