WHILE the latest interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB) came largely in line with market expectations, analysts anticipate further reductions in the year ahead.

Officials shaved their three key interest rates, which apply across all 20 countries that use the euro, by a quarter-point to 3.75 per cent.
