Alice thought she had been looking over their slates; 'but it doesn't matter a bit,' she thought it would,' said the King, and he checked himself suddenly: the others all joined in chorus, 'Yes, please do!' but the three were all turning into little cakes as they were trying to invent something!'

The European Central Bank imposed another large interest-rate increase on Thursday, as policymakers tried to quell the region’s record-high inflation.
The central bank, which sets monetary policy for the 19 countries that use the euro, raised interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point,matching the previous increaselast month. After a slow start in raising rates —its July increasewas the first in more than a decade — the bank said it had rapidly tightened its policy stance as inflation has proved worse and more persistent than the bank expected.
Consumer prices rose 9.9 percent on average in the eurozone in September from a year earlier, the fastest pace on record, driven by energy and food prices.
“Inflation remains far too high and will stay above the target for an extended period,” Christine Lagarde, the president of the central bank, said on Thursday. The bank’s policy stance is intended to weaken the forces pushing up demand and guard against the risk that inflation expectations persistently shift higher, she said.
