BCE fará o que for "necessário" para manter a inflação "sob controlo" - Notícias ao Minuto
The article discusses the European Central Bank's (BCE) commitment to controlling inflation amid rising energy prices caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. President Christine Lagarde emphasized that the BCE will do whatever is necessary to prevent inflation from escalating, similar to the spikes experienced in 2022 and 2023 due to the Ukraine war. She highlighted that current inflation levels are under control and economic growth remains resilient in the eurozone, contrasting with the situation in 2022. However, she noted increased uncertainty and volatility in energy markets, with oil prices fluctuating sharply amid regional conflicts involving Iran, Israel, and the US. The BCE's next monetary policy decision is scheduled for March 19, amid global geopolitical tensions.
