European Central Bank cut interest rate to 2%

As expected European Central Bank (ECB) has cut official interest rate by 0.5% to 2.0 per cent on Friday.

ECB hasn't ruled out further monetary easing, but reduction in official rates was unlikely in the very near term. At least until the next ECB "important meeting" which will take place in March.

It seems ECB does not plan to follow other central banks in taking rates to near zero.
