European Central Bank monetary policy decision

The European Central Bank is scheduled to announce its monetary policy decision on October 29 at 14:15 local time in Frankfurt. Its press conference follows at 14:45. The releases are significant for euro area borrowers, savers, businesses and audiences following inflation and financial markets.

Readers can compare the written decision with the press conference, economic reporting and analysis from different euro area countries. The distinction between an announced policy measure, its explanation and market interpretation is particularly useful during fast coverage. The ECB lists an official video service for the press conference; access and reuse conditions should be checked for the intended distribution before using footage.
