Episode 13 - The impact of the ECB's interest rate hikes on workers and employment
Show notes
In order to fight inflation in the EU, the ECB has raised the key interest rate several times. But it is precisely these interest rate hikes that could have a negative impact on workers and small and medium-sized enterprises. In this episode we talk to experts from NGOs, trade unions and politicians about the rate hikes, the ECB's role, the impact of the rate hike and a possible downward spiral in wages.
