    BNP Paribas anticipates a 0.5% ECB rate hike in 2026, driven by fiscal stimulus and increased euro zone growth forecasts.

    BNP Paribas Predicts ECB Interest Rate Hikes for 2026

    LONDON (Reuters) - BNP Paribas expects the European Central Bank to hike interest rates by half a percentage point next year as fiscal stimulus boosts price pressures, it said on Wednesday.

    The French bank said it had revised up its euro zone growth forecasts by 0.4 percentage points to 1.3% this year and 0.5 percentage points to 1.5% in 2026 due to higher defence and infrastructure spending.

    It still expects the ECB to cut its policy rate to 2% in June.
