ECB chief Draghi hints interest rates could be cut still further

-

European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi hinted Thursday that eurozone interest rates, already at new all-time lows, would fall even lower in the future if area-wide inflation does not pick up soon.

"The governing council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time, and well past the horizon of our net asset purchases," Draghi told a news conference after the bank cuts its key rates to new historic lows.
