Energy Shock from Iran War Proves Longer-Lasting Than Expected

European Central Bank Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel has warned that the energy shock caused by the Iran war is proving to be more persistent than initially thought. Speaking in Salsomaggiore Terme, Italy, Schnabel noted that while the initial assumption was that the event would be short-lived, it has become clear that it will have a longer-lasting impact.

The energy shock is not limited to oil alone, but also affects diesel and gas prices. Schnabel emphasized that this is a critical issue for the European economy, which relies heavily on imported energy. The prolonged energy shock could have significant consequences for economic growth and inflation in the region.
