Coșmarul energetic revine în Europa. Se anunță o iarnă economică grea, cu scumpiri, dobânzi în creștere și presiuni inflaționiste

Europe faces a challenging winter with rising energy prices, inflation, and geopolitical instability affecting supply chains. Natural gas prices have surged significantly, and storage levels are alarmingly low, particularly in Germany. The competition for liquefied natural gas is intensifying, leading to social unrest in various regions due to energy costs. The high gas prices are shifting the energy mix back towards coal and nuclear energy, despite environmental concerns. The EU aims to accelerate electrification to reduce fossil fuel dependency, but this could create new challenges. Inflationary pressures are prompting central banks to raise interest rates, further complicating the economic landscape.
