Euro-Area Inflation Unexpectedly Hits Record in Test for ECB

Consumer prices increased 5% in December from a year earlier

President Christine Lagarde said last month that inflation is likely to remain elevated in the near term before slowing in 2022 to settle below the 2% target. 

She’s said a rate hike wouldn’t be the correct response to the current bout of price growth, partly because its effects would only be felt later on, when pressures would already be easing.
