BCE majorează dobânda la 2,5% pe fondul scumpirii energiei

The European Central Bank raised its key interest rate from 2.25% to 2.5% due to rising inflation risks linked to geopolitical tensions. Inflation in the Eurozone reached 3.3% in August, the highest in three years, driven by energy price increases amid military conflicts. ECB President Christine Lagarde indicated that inflation is expected to remain above target for an extended period, with a return to target levels anticipated by late 2027. Analysts note that rising energy prices will keep global inflation elevated, complicating future economic forecasts.
