Central Banks Signal Coordinated Rate Adjustments as Inflation Finally Yields

The heads of six major central banks have issued an unprecedented joint statement signalling that coordinated interest rate reductions are imminent — the end of the most aggressive monetary tightening cycle since the early 1980s.

Consumer price inflation has now fallen within target range in all six economies for three consecutive months.

“We are at a turning point,” said the Governor. “The conditions for a cautious but meaningful reduction in rates have been met, and we believe a coordinated approach is appropriate.”

Financial markets responded positively, with equity indices posting gains across all major bourses.
