A reduction in interest rates next week by the European Central Bank is all but certain and two to three more will probably follow, according to Governing Council member Peter Kazimir.

Recent data suggest quarter-point, back-to-back rate cuts should continue, Kazimir said late Monday in an interview. Heightened uncertainty, however, means the ECB must remain nimble in case things change.
