European Central Bank Vice President Boris Vujcic says the ECB’s recent interest-rate increase is “robust,” arguing that inflation is likely to remain higher for longer than previously expected. Speaking in the context of the ECB’s policy stance, Vujcic indicates that incoming price data and the broader inflation outlook support maintaining a restrictive approach rather than moving quickly to ease monetary policy. The reporting from both outlets agrees on the core message: Vujcic backs the rate decision by linking it to the expected duration of elevated inflation. While the sources do not provide additional figures, detailed economic projections, or specific guidance on future rate moves, they present a consistent assessment of the inflation trajectory and the rationale for the ECB’s current actions. Overall, the coverage portrays Vujcic as reinforcing confidence in the ECB’s decision-making process amid persistent inflation pressures.
