ECB Demonstrates Hawkishness

For the European Central Bank, the question is no longer if but when and by how much it will hike interest rates this summer. Once the rate lift-off has started, the next question will be how far the ECB can go.

House price growth in the eurozone is at its highest since 2006 as housing markets were supported by a limited impact of the pandemic on household finances, rising savings, historically low-interest rates, favorable financing conditions, and changing preferences. The improved macroprudential framework in Europe, increased supply of housing, and bottoming out of interest rates are expected to ease the upward pressures on price growth.
