They argue that muted fiscal support and a non-overheating Eurozone economy reduce the need for multiple hikes, while policymakers remain wary of repeating 2011’s policy mistake. Single hike as policy insurance signal “With this vigilance, the main question for the ECB will be whether to go for a preemptive insurance hike or stay put.

European banks are considered more vulnerable because many lack access to the technology, while some US banks are already testing it. The ECB is hoping US banks will share their experiences with European competitors.
