VIENNA, Sept 24 (Reuters) – The European Central Bank will ​assess the economic ‌situation from meeting to meeting and decide then whether to ‌raise ​interest rates, ⁠ECB policymaker Martin ⁠Kocher reiterated in an interview with Austrian newspaper Kurier.

“We ​have said clearly — and I believe ⁠it ⁠is the right ​approach — that, given the ​high level of uncertainty ‌and the price shock due to the situation ⁠in the Middle East, we will assess the situation ⁠anew ‌at every ⁠meeting,” he was ​quoted ‌as saying in ​the ⁠interview published on Thursday.
