Bus/Financial - Economics / Konjunktur in Euroland
German term or phrase: mit einem solchen Schritt noch wartet
Hi,

Can anyone tell me what this expression (?) means? I know that "mit etw warten" is to "leave something". Some context:

"Durch das Zuwarten verlängert sich allerdings die Phase extrem niedriger Zinsen im Euroraum, die mit einer kräftigen Zunahme der Liquidität einherheht; daher vergrößern sich auf die mittlere Frist die Inflationsrisiken. Während dies für sich genommen dafür spricht, dass die Leitzinsen recht bald angehoben werden, ist wegen des moderaten Verlaufs der Konjunktur damit zu rechnen, dass die Notenbank **mit einem solchen Schritt noch wartet."

For the latter part I have:

"...it is because of the moderate performance of the economy that has still excluded such a measure".

Though I'm really not sure about this and none of my sources are helping.

TIA!
