Investing.com — The European Central Bank has slashed interest rates by a quarter point at a second straight meeting on Thursday as policymakers look to address twin slowdowns in inflation and economic growth.

It is the first back-to-back borrowing cost drawdown in 13 years, and serves as a sign that the ECB has begun to pivot away from a period of interest rate hikes designed to quell elevated price growth.

Instead, the ECB has signaled that it is refocusing policy on trying to reinvigorate a sputtering Eurozone economy that has struggled to keep pace with the US for much of the last two years.

“The incoming information on inflation shows that the disinflationary process is well on track. The inflation outlook is also affected by recent downside surprises in indicators of economic activity,” the ECB said in a statement.

The 25-basis point cut would bring the rate the ECB pays out to banks for their deposits to 3.25%, widening the gap compared to the Federal Reserve. The US central bank lowered its target rate by an outsized 50 basis points last month to a range of 4.75% to 5.00%.

Following the ECB’s announcement, which had been widely anticipated by markets, the euro was trading roughly unchanged versus the dollar.
