Why it matters for cross-border payments
Inflation against the ECB’s 2% target decides the path of euro rates, which is what moves EUR against the dollar-pegged Gulf currencies.
Exchange rates can move sharply in the minutes after a release. If you are converting a large amount, knowing when the figure lands helps you decide when to book it.
