BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany must expect further rises in European Central Bank interest rates, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Wednesday.
“We will have to expect a further tightening of monetary policy measures and thus rising interest rates,” Lindner told lawmakers, adding that Germany must continue to assume annual interest costs of some 40 billion euros ($42.73 billion) in its medium-term planning.
