Clear and effective communication is very important to us

Clear and effective communication is very important to us. Our monetary policy becomes more effective when our decisions are better understood. The media play an important role in this process and help keep us accountable to the European public. Among other things, journalists join our press conferences, interview policymakers and report on speeches and publications.

Press releases

Our press releases cover a wide range of topics. They announce ECB decisions and new data.
