03:00In international economic news, the decline in inflation and the weakness of the economy
03:05in the euro zone justify a new drop in interest rates that the European Central Bank should
03:11act on Thursday without engaging in the rhythm of its monetary softening policy.
03:17The monetary institute has fallen 7 years in June for the first time in five years after
03:22a phase of unprecedented credit reimbursement to fight against exceptionally high inflation
03:28following the Russian military operation in Ukraine.
03:32Inflation slowed to 2.2% on August 1 in the euro zone and even passed under the target
03:38of 2% in the two main economies, namely France and Germany, at a time when the
03:43salary bumps are starting to slow down, according to the experts of the European Eurostat Statistics Agency.
03:50Another element that plays in this direction is economic growth in the euro zone, which
03:54has been slightly reduced to 0.2% for the second quarter of 2024.
04:01On Thursday, the European Central Bank should therefore, according to all expectations, lower
04:06the deposit rate for the second time.
04:08It should be lowered by 25 points of base to 3.50%.
04:15At one o'clock international economic news on Tuesday, inflation in China rose again

04:25The index of the main consumption prices was 0.6% on an annual basis, according to the
04:32National Bureau of Statistics, against 0.5% the previous month.
04:37This figure is the highest since February, but remains below the expectations of the
04:42analysis conducted by the Bloomberg Agency.
04:44China had plunged into deflation for four months from the end of the previous year,
04:50with the highest price contraction in January for 14 years.
04:55Chinese authorities have recently announced support measures for the private sector and
05:01say they aim for a GDP growth of about 5% this year, an objective considered ambitious
05:08by many experts.
