The European Central Bank on Thursday decided to speed up its exit from its bond-buying program as it tries to counter rising inflation.

欧洲央行周四决定加快退出债券购买计划，以应对不断上升的通胀。

It was projected to lower the federal deficit by as much as $300 billion over a decade, though it remained to be seen whether it would counter inflation or lower costs for Americans in the long term.

预计该法案将在未来十年内将联邦赤字降低多达3000亿美元，但从长远来看，这是否会抑制通胀或降低美国人的成本仍有待观察。
