ECB rate reduction: an opportunity for mortgages and businesses

Over the past few days, the European Central Bank (ECB) has announced that interest rates have been reduced by 0.25 basis points. This is very good news, especially for businesses that can access credit by spending less, and for those who have taken out variable-rate mortgages in the past, seeing their installments decrease.

A future of further reductions?

The outlook is positive, with analysts predicting that the ECB may continue along these lines in the coming months, with further reductions that would provide additional breathing space for the economy. This prospect seems to be welcomed by businesses, individuals and even state coffers, which would see the burden of public debt reduced .

However, it will be crucial to keep an eye on inflation, which plays a key role in ECB policies. Increases or decreases in inflation determine changes in the rates charged to central banks.

A positive impact on the Italian economy

In addition to real estate, another sector that is supporting the economy is the tourism, which continues to drive the Italian economic recovery. The increase in tourist arrivals, both foreign and Italian, has contributed significantly to this positive trend. Interestingly, more and more Italians have chosen to spend their vacations in their own country, preferring the beauty of the Bel Paese to foreign destinations and supporting the domestic tourism sector.

In conclusion, the combination of lower rates, growing tourism and prudent inflation management could mark another step toward a stronger economic balance.
