ECB cuts interest rates by 0.25 percentage points

Thursday, 2 April 2009

The European Central Bank has decided to cut interest rates again today in response to the continuing recession throughout the euro-zone.

The bank says it is reducing its main lending rate by a quarter of one percentage point to 1.25%.

The move should lead to another slight reduction in monthly repayments on variable-rate mortgages.

The ECB has now cut its rates by three percentage points in the past six months in an effort to stimulate growth in the euro-zone.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
