ECB backs off from the idea of rate increase

Article Abstract:

A slowing of economic growth and the strengthening of the euro, are some of the factors analysts are pointing to as an explanation for the European Central Bank's message that it will not be raising interest rates. Though the Bank recently raised expectations that it was considering the first interest-rate increase for the European region in four years, it is now backing away from that stance, citing its concerns over a weakening economic recovery as a reason for its change in policy.
