ECB Governing Council member Nagel said on Friday that if current conditions persist the ECB will very likely need to raise rates again. He warned the longer inflation stays elevated the greater the risk of second‑round effects, and said the inflation outlook has worsened versus September projections as energy prices are well above prior forecasts and gas and power have accelerated in recent weeks. Core inflation remains high and near‑term inflation expectations have risen with headline inflation. Nagel added the euro‑area economy shows some resilience and a repeat of 2022’s inflation dynamics is unlikely, provided the ECB fulfils its responsibilities.

The US Treasury is considering a short-term bridge loan to help Venezuela repay about $2.3bn owed to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to restore the country's financing eligibility. The IDB on Friday approved re-engagement; after repayment Venezuela could access up to $6bn from the IDB over the next two years, and the World Bank could provide up to $5bn. The US plans to channel funds to the IDB via overnight financing arrangements rather than direct transfers to Venezuela. The proposal may draw congressional scrutiny—Senator Elizabeth Warren has previously opposed using the Exchange Stabilization Fund to guarantee investments in Venezuelan financial institutions.
