ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that October headline inflation reached 4%, primarily driven by elevated energy costs despite core inflation remaining stable at 2.5%. While second-round effects currently remain limited, she stated that the central bank will continue to monitor wage indicators and energy price developments closely before future policy decisions.
The Governing Council remains committed to a data-driven approach to maintain flexibility amidst global economic uncertainty. Lagarde emphasized that the ECB retains a broad range of instruments to address financial stability risks and reaffirmed the necessity for euro area member states to adhere to established fiscal frameworks.
