Risk Management Abstract |  |
Expansionary Europe Monetary Policy Rates | In 2018 in Europe monetary policy has remained expansionary, maintaining rates at 0% and the deposit rate at -0.4%. In USA the rising rate cycle initiated by the Federal Reserve in 2015 has continued. In Mexico and Turkey, the upward cycle has continued because of volatility of their currencies and inflation prospects. In South America, monetary policy has continued to be expansive in most of the economies where the Group operates, with the exception of Argentina, where rates increased and actions were taken not to increase the monetary basis and slow the inflation. |
