Including money will be provided by JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citigroup.
Prior to this, Reuters, citing sources, said that financial analysts expect management European Central Bank (ECB) will raise the key rate by another 50 basis points (by 0.5%) – from the current 3% to 3.5% per annum. The tightening of the monetary policy of the foreign exchange regulator will be due to the bankruptcy of the large US investment bank Silicon Valley Bank (SVB).
