According to the latest data, the Eurozone deposit facility rate in June 2026 remained flat at 2.25%, unchanged from the previous value. Although external consensus indicates that the ECB only officially announced a rate hike in June, based on existing data, the indicator had already reached this level at the beginning of the second quarter; this move aims to fend off the spillover of energy and services inflation brought by Middle East geopolitical risks.
