ECB’s Sleijpen: inflation risks are large

ECB policymaker Olaf Sleijpen spoke at a conference in Amsterdam, raising concerns about large inflation risks. He emphasized that while efforts to control inflation are ongoing, there are still significant risk factors in place. This commentary is likely to impact the ECB's monetary policy and draw attention to interest rate trends. With inflation rates remaining elevated in Europe and increased economic uncertainty, Sleijpen suggests that careful monitoring of future inflation movements is essential. The markets are reassessing the potential for rate hikes and the ECB's policy direction in response to these comments.
