If the European Central Bank stopped announcing changes to interest rates there is a good chance that nobody would notice. Though the ECB raised its main refinancing rate on Thursday, by 25 basis points to 3.75 per cent, all anybody cared about was ECB president Jean-Claude Trichet's statement. Having signalled the rate rise a month ago, he hinted at another increase, probably this summer.
