High oil and gas prices may keep inflation in the eurozone elevated for longer, and it will likely approach the 2% target only in mid-2027. European Central Bank chief economist Philip Lane told a Swiss publication, OilPrice reports, citing Reuters.

He noted that since February, no significant pass-through of higher oil and gas prices to other categories, including electricity, has yet been observed. At the same time, the ECB official suggested that more expensive energy could later this year increase pressure on prices for food, electricity and goods overall.
