The political costs for the ECB of making this type of mistake could be exorbitant. This is why the ECB must be very prudent as it considers whether to maintain the current pace of rate hikes, in which case it would raise rates by 25 basis points in September, or slow the pace down a bit, in which case the next rate hike would come in October at the earliest.
欧洲央行犯下这样的错误的政治代价将会是非常高的。这就是为什么欧洲央行必须在考虑是否维持目前加息进度的时候十分小心谨慎。按照这一进度，它将会在九月份加息25个基点，或者稍微放缓，在这种情况下下一次加息最早在十月份。
