European Central Bank interest rates will continue to head lower as inflation starts to stabilize around the 2% goal, according to its Governing Council member Olli Rehn.

“The direction of our monetary policy is now clear,” Rehn said Tuesday in Helsinki. “The speed and scale of the rate cuts will be determined in each meeting on the basis of incoming data and comprehensive analysis.”
