The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) today said it was leaving its key interest rates unchanged.
The main eurozone interest rate remains at a record low of 1%.
"The interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 1.00%, 1.75% and 0.25% respectively," the ECB said in a statement.
But the bank has warned it is preparing for a rise later in the year.
ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet will present upward revisions - after a monthly meeting of policymakers.
The bank has held interest rates at the record low since May of 2009.
