Paris and Berlin Unrest Casts Shadow on ECB Decisions

The European Central Bank (ECB) is facing challenges as political crises in France and Germany overshadow its policy decisions. Despite the turmoil, the ECB is expected to cut interest rates, but the uncertainty complicates fiscal policy forecasts. France's President Macron is seeking a new budget after a failed deficit reduction plan, while Germany prepares for elections following the collapse of its coalition government. These developments raise concerns about fiscal policy and economic growth in the eurozone's largest economies.
