Die Europäische Zentralbank hat am 11. Juni 2026 den Leitzins auf 2,25 Prozent angehoben. Es ist die erste Erhöhung seit 2023. Die EZB drosselte zudem ihre Wachstumsprognose für die Eurozone.

Die EZB reagierte damit auf die Folgen des Iran-Kriegs. EZB-Präsidentin Christine Lagarde betonte, der Beschluss sei einstimmig gefallen. Sie ließ offen, ob weitere Schritte folgen.

Lagarde sagte, der Rat entscheide weiter von Sitzung zu Sitzung. Ökonomen sehen in der Anhebung keinen Beginn eines neuen Zinserhöhungszyklus.

Einige Experten halten eine weitere Erhöhung im September für möglich. Andere erwarten, dass der Satz bei 2,25 Prozent bleibt.
