European stocks fell Thursday after European Central Bank decided to leave its key interest rate at a record low of 0.25 percent. ECB staff has predicted inflation to average just 1.1 percent in 2014, followed by 1.3 percent in 2015, which was below the ECB’s target of just under 2.0 percent. "While deflation seems to be right around the corner, there are growing doubts about the ECB's willingness to act decisively to boost the economy. It's a question of credibility at this point," FXCM analyst Vincent Ganne said. Here is how some foreign bank stocks reacted Thursday:
