Iran war could mean stagflation for EU, Dombrovskis says
- On Thursday in Brussels, European Economic Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis warned the European Union faces stagflation risks as energy price surges caused by the war in Iran cloud the economic outlook.
- Defined as slower growth coinciding with higher inflation, stagflation threatens the European Union economy as uncertainty regarding energy supplies grows amid the energy price crisis.
- The Commission's analysis suggests 2026 growth could be around 0.4 percentage points lower than autumn projections, with potential for up to 0.6 percentage points if supply disruptions persist.
- Kyriakos Pierrakakis, chairman of the finance ministers, stated that national measures to cushion high energy costs must be temporary, targeted, and fair to the most vulnerable households and businesses.
- Pierrakakis emphasized that investing further in clean energy infrastructure is essential to bolster Europe's energy autonomy and prevent larger problems in the future.
