[ECB Executive Board Member Schnabel Agrees with Market Bets on the Next Rate Hike] ECB Executive Board Member Schnabel expressed agreement with investors' bets that the ECB's next move will be a rate hike, noting that borrowing costs have reached their lower limit. She stated that consumer spending, corporate investment, and significant government spending on defense and infrastructure will boost the economy, with economic and inflation risks skewed to the upside.
