The ECB Turns 25: Crises and Challenges

The European Central Bank (ECB), founded in 1998, was tasked with maintaining inflation below 2%. Over the years, it has faced numerous challenges, including the financial crisis, Eurozone debt crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The ECB has adapted by changing mandates, implementing negative interest rates, and launching bond-buying programs. Despite these efforts, it now faces new challenges as it raises rates at an unprecedented pace to combat inflation.
