03:00 pm [FR] Euroquestions #60 | How is Europe organising itself to combat inflation?

The European Central Bank (ECB) has raised its key interest rates from 0% to 3.5% since July 2022, and its president, Christine Lagarde, suggested on 4 May that the cycle of rate hikes may not be over. With the European economy appearing to return to weak growth following the Covid crisis, the war in Ukraine and the resulting inflation shock, questions arise about the effectiveness of this monetary policy (in achieving the 2% inflation target) and its impact on growth prospects and the stability of the banking and financial system.
We are pleased to welcome Pierre Jaillet, associate researcher at the Jacques Delors Institute and expert on European Union monetary policy.
