The President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, warned that the eurozone must prepare for a prolonged period of economic instability due to the conflict in the Middle East. He noted that while the European economy is resilient, potential disruptions to maritime transport and energy supplies could threaten the 2% inflation target. Residents should be aware that these external shocks may lead to sustained pressure on energy prices and supply chains in the coming months.
