👀 Earlier today we asked our community to guess where we are, giving them the clue below:

This city’s historic centre is surrounded by walls fortified by 11 bastions, built by the Venetians in the 16th century.

🇨🇾 We’re in Nicosia, Cyprus! Did you guess correctly? 😉

🇪🇺 ECB President Christine Lagarde and Executive Board member Piero Cipollone are in Nicosia for the informal meeting of EU economic and financial affairs ministers.

Last week we brought Girls’ Day to the ECB with our Girls’ IT Bootcamp 💻

Over two days, girls from across Europe met IT experts and took part in hands on workshops – they even brought LEGO robots to life!

They also discovered more about the ECB through visits to our main building, Visitor Centre and Banknotes Lab.

A big well done to everyone who took part — the future of tech is looking bright 🚀

Today, the Governing Council decided to keep interest rates unchanged.

There will soon be plenty of data to make certain that, from the good position we are in, we make the right decision to bring inflation to 2% in the medium term.

Today we kept our key interest rates unchanged.

The war in the Middle East is weighing on the economy. Inflation has gone up, and we expect it to stay higher for a while. This is mainly because energy has become much more expensive.

Up to now, the prices of food, goods and services have not risen much. We will keep a close eye on how higher energy costs spread to other prices.

Overall, we are well positioned to cope with the uncertainty created by the war.
