European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde is due to give a press conference following the bank’s latest monetary policy decision.

The ECB, the central bank of the 19 nations that share the euro currency, opted for a smaller rate hike this time around, taking its key rate from 1.5% to 2%.

It also said that from the beginning of March 2023 it would begin to reduce its balance sheet by 15 billion euros ($16 billion) per month on average until the end of the second quarter of 2023.
