ECB leaves policy unchanged, Draghi in focus

FXStreet (Córdoba) - At today's meeting, the European Central Bank decided to leave its key interest rates unchanged.

The ECB Governing Council announced that the interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.25%, 1.00% and 0.00% respectively.

The ECB cut rates at November's meeting when the key refi rate went from 0.5% to a fresh record low of 0.25%.

Attention now turns to ECB President, Mario Draghi, who will comment on the considerations underlying these decisions at a press conference starting at 13:30GMT.
