European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau said on Wednesday that the timing and the size of the ECB rate cuts will depend on data. 

Villeroy further reiterated that they will be at the 2% inflation target in the coming year.

Earlier in the day, ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos said that while increasing defense spending across Europe was the "number one priority", he noted that there is a need to guarantee budget stability in accordance with the bloc's fiscal rules, per Reuters.
