Șocul energetic, prea mare pentru a fi ignorat. Lagarde anunță cum va răspunde BCE la scumpiri

Christine Lagarde emphasized the impact of energy shocks on monetary policy, advocating for a measured response to control inflation. She noted that while inflation is expected to rise, current energy price increases have not significantly affected other prices or wages. The ECB's decisions rely on inflation outlooks and economic conditions, with recent interest rate hikes aimed at slowing the economy. Italy's Economy Minister stressed the need for fiscal policies that ensure debt sustainability and promote essential investments. The next ECB monetary policy decision is set for October 29, with Eurostat releasing inflation estimates on November 4.
