    ECB's Holzmann Cautious on Rapid Rate Cuts Amid Inflation

    VIENNA (Reuters) - The European Central Bank cannot lower rates too quickly given issues including stubbornly high core inflation, policymaker Robert Holzmann said on Tuesday, while maintaining that the next rate decision would depend on data available then.

    "I don't think we can go down as straight as it is. In particular as more recently we had some hiccups with regards to inflation and core inflation is still, how to say, closer to 3% than to 2% there. We have a lot of challenges now with regard to energy," he told a conference on central and Eastern Europe.
