ECB’s Makhlouf: Energy Data Worse Than Expected, Inflation Risks Persist
AI take
Makhlouf's language is notable less for the energy reference than for framing inflation as "disturbing" and flagging persistent upside risks — a tone that keeps the ECB's guard up rather than opening the door to easier policy. As a Governing Council voice, his remarks matter because they signal where the internal debate sits, not just one official's view. Whether this vigilance hardens into a broader council consensus is the open question worth watching.
