13/10/2006 (Agence Europe) - In a press release, the President of SME Union, Christoph Leitl, says five interest rate rises in 2006 is enough. He urges the European Central Bank (ECB) to stop raising interest eurozone interest rates, saying it is killing employment and growth in Europe, noting that inflation is already quite low, 2.1%. Rather than focusing on price stability, he said, the ECB should back the European Commission's efforts to boost growth and employment. (ab)
