“Another is expected 75 basis point hike by the ECB in October and more rate hikes until next springbarring a deeper recession, to reach a terminal rate of 3% in mid-2023.”

“Faster rate hikes also make advance quantitative tightening (QT) on the agendaand now we wait a phased start by mid-2023. However, as balance sheet finance plays an important role for financial stability (see UK) and to avoid fragmentation, QT options and communication will need to be carefully assessed.”
