ECB's Nagel: ECB rates are not yet restrictive

European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Joachim Nagel said on Tuesday that ECB rate cuts are not on the agenda in the foreseeable future and noted that ECB rates are not yet restrictive.

"A timely chat is needed on how far to lift QR caps after June," Nagel added and reiterated that they need "further, significant" rate hikes.
