ECB Governing Council member Machrouf said he was "uneasy" that the eurozone inflation rate was hovering above 3%, while economic growth was "slightly stronger" than predicted before the summer. Machrouf stated, "Our decision next week will not surprise anyone." He added that he expects the ECB to also "slightly" raise its eurozone economic growth forecast this year. Machrouf emphasized that even at 2.5%, the ECBs benchmark deposit rate would not dampen economic activity. "Policy is not restrictive," he said, adding that restrictive policy "generally speaking, will only begin when interest rates exceed 2.75%." Furthermore, he believes it is unclear whether further rate hikes are needed after the expected rate increase next week, and the ECB should adhere to its "meeting-by-meeting" strategy and avoid providing forward guidance. He stated that inflation expectations are "in good shape," and there are no signs of a "second round of inflation on the wage side. We see the associated risks being managed."According to the Financial Times, ECB Governing Council member Machrouf stated that the ECB must be prepared to raise interest rates further.On September 2nd, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) issued a new announcement stating that, to ensure public medication safety, my country will convert the over-the-counter (OTC) formulation of Yumei (a traditional Chinese medicine) into a prescription drug and manage it accordingly.
