ECB President Lagarde Highlights Prolonged Inflation and Engages in French Regional Politics
European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde stated that the current inflation shock, driven by the Middle East conflict and rising energy costs, is expected to last longer than initially anticipated.

Lagarde also engaged in French regional politics, emphasizing Europe's role in supporting local economies and regional strengths, while not ruling out an early departure from her ECB term.
