At a European forum on the 10th, the chairman commented mainly on the role of central banks in climate issues, and on the economy, he said, “We are raising policy rates to slow the economy. , it may be necessary to take unpopular measures in the short term,” he said.

In addition, current CPI forecasts are strongly anticipating a slowdown in inflation.
