Forecast raised

THE European Central Bank yesterday raised its growth forecast for this year and next after a healthy second-quarter performance from the 16 countries that use the euro.

The ECB also left its benchmark refinancing rate at a record-low 1 percent for the 16th consecutive month.

ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet said the ECB is now projecting growth this year of 1.4 to 1.8 percent - a range that centers on 1.6 percent, up from the 1 percent forecast in June.

Its forecast for 2011 was for growth between 0.5 and 2.3 percent. That range centers on 1.4 percent, up from the previous 1.2 percent.
