Eurozone: ECB raises interest rates to 2.5% with energy shock fueling inflation

Euronews Portugal10 September 2026 at 13:26

The European Central Bank decided to raise interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, bringing the deposit rate to 2.5%. This decision represents the second interest rate increase in three months by the European institution.

The ECB justifies this measure with the worsening of inflation in the eurozone, which is being fueled by an energy shock. The geopolitical situation related to the war in Iran has contributed to the increase in energy prices in the European region.

The interest rate hike aims to contain inflation that has been accelerating in the eurozone. The European Central Bank faces the challenge of controlling prices without compromising the economic growth of the region.

Florida's Economy Is Now Worth Almost as Much as All of Brazil's, BEA Reports

Florida's economy reached approximately US$ 1.835 trillion in 2025, representing about 80% of Brazil's estimated GDP of US$ 2.28 trillion, a difference of US$ 445 billion between the American state and the entire country. With just 23.5 million inhabitants across a territory of 139,000 km² — compared to Brazil's 213.4 million people across 8.5 million km² — Florida ranks as the fourth-largest state economy in the US and would be the 14th largest in the world if it were a country. The state's nominal GDP grew 41% over four years, driven by diversified sectors including finance, healthcare, technology, and logistics. The Florida Chamber of Commerce Foundation attributes this success to the free enterprise model, low taxes, and lighter regulation, with a goal of positioning the state among the top ten global economies by 2030.
