Inflația explodează în zona euro. Franța și Italia trec de 4%, iar presiunea asupra BCE crește

Rising energy prices are increasing pressure on the European Central Bank as inflation surges in major Eurozone countries. France and Italy have seen inflation rates exceed 4%, while Germany and Spain report significant increases. The ECB anticipates further interest rate hikes in response to these inflationary pressures, with projections suggesting inflation could peak near 4% if energy prices remain high. ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that current inflation levels have not yet caused severe side effects, but warns that sustained high energy prices may impact core inflation in early next year.
