European Central Bank officials are probably in for a heated debate when they set borrowing costs in late October, according to Governing Council member Ante Zigman.

“We raised interest rates at the last meeting,” the Croatian central bank chief said in Porec on Thursday. “Naturally, there will be a very intense debate on how we will proceed and what actions we will take at the next meeting.”

The ECB hiked in June and September, but is widely expected to hold on Oct. 29 before resume tightening at their December meeting.
