FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- The European Central Bank left its overnight bank-to-bank lending rate unchanged Thursday citing an uneven economic recovery.
In a news conference, bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said inflation in the euro at minus 0.2 percent in August, was expected to turn positive "within the coming months." The EC bank said it would keep the lending rate at 1 percent, the rate it first set in May.
