  • Adopted text TA10-0011/2025: Parliament's resolution on the ECB's 2023 annual report welcomes the fall in inflation, stresses the ECB's independence and accountability, and calls for careful interest rate policy.
  • Report A10-0003/2025: The resolution assesses the ECB's 2024 annual report, welcoming lower inflation but urging caution on rate cuts and faster balance sheet reduction.
  • Draft report (ECON): This draft report on the European Central Bank's 2024 annual report welcomes lower inflation but criticises the ECB for acting late and calls for balance sheet reduction and respect for the prohibition of monetary financing.

    AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

    The digital euro provisions are substantially changed: Parliament now demands a political decision by EU co-legislators before introduction, and the ECB must demonstrate benefits first. The call on market neutrality is softened by noting it is an operational tool, not a legal requirement. Other changes are formal: updated inflation figures and months, and a decimal separator correction.

    AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

    Updates inflation data and projections to November 2024 and December 2024 Eurosystem figures, with new rates for 2025-2027. Expands the ECB's role to include financial stability and support for EU economic policies, while clarifying its mandate and independence. Rewrites fiscal and monetary policy paragraphs: drops warnings on rapid rate cuts and fiscal dominance, adds emphasis on monetary dominance, fiscal framework, and proportionality. Adds extensive new paragraphs on digital euro benefits, compensation, privacy, and financial stability, plus new topics like AI bubbles, whistleblowing, and gender balance. The other changes are formal: corrected spelling and terminology in the explanatory statement.
