With Double Digit Inflation Numbers Out of Germany, the ECB Has a Long Road to Bringing Inflation Under Control.
Central banks typically need to raise interest rates above the inflation rate to bring down inflation.

As Central Banks Everywhere Work to Curb Inflation, Experts Believe the Bank of England Could be Facing Similar Policy Decisions.
With inflation's peak looming ominously on a distant horizon, there's plenty more pain to come regarding increases in borrowing costs. The ECB's decision to initiate another significant rate hike signals that the Bank of England could follow suit as early as next week.
