BCE avertizează că economia Europei va încetini: Dobânzile cresc, finanțarea devine tot mai scumpă, iar Lagarde anunță efectele asupra prețurilor

The eurozone economy faces new pressures due to rising borrowing costs and tightening financing conditions, warns ECB President Christine Lagarde. This situation may slow economic growth while potentially mitigating the impact of energy price increases on consumer prices. Bond yields have surged globally, affecting countries like France with high public debt. Lagarde noted that the tightening financial conditions complicate the transfer of fuel price hikes to consumers. The ECB has raised interest rates twice recently, with expectations for another increase in December. Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel indicated that further monetary policy tightening may be necessary to combat inflation. Additionally, the ECB is monitoring potential secondary effects of rising energy prices on wages and other prices.
