BCE crește dobânzile la cel mai ridicat nivel din ultimul an. Inflația alimentată de scumpirea energiei pune presiune pe zona euro

The European Central Bank raised interest rates to 2.5% to combat inflation driven by the Middle East conflict. This marks the second increase since the onset of the war, which has significantly impacted global energy prices. ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that inflation is expected to remain above the 2% target until 2028, with energy prices being a major contributor. Despite a resilient eurozone economy, uncertainties remain regarding the conflict's effects. Investors are closely monitoring future ECB decisions, with expectations of stable rates for the remainder of the year and potential increases in the coming years.
