European Central Bank Governing Council member Olaf Sleijpen says the full extent of the inflation shock linked to the Iran war is not yet clear. Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg’s Francine Lacqua at the ECB Forum on Central Banking in Sintra, Portugal, he adds that policymakers will adjust their approach as new information becomes available. Sleijpen’s comments frame the inflation outlook as still developing, indicating that any assessment of how much prices will be affected depends on incoming economic and inflation data. The ECB official does not provide specific forecasts or policy decisions in the reports, but emphasizes that the scale of the shock remains to be determined. Overall, the coverage highlights the ECB’s current stance of monitoring the evolving situation and incorporating further data into policy decisions, rather than treating the inflation impact as fully quantified at this stage.
