The European Union cautioned that inflation could surpass 3% this year if Brent oil prices remain around $100 per barrel. EU economy chief Valdis Dombrovskis indicated that prolonged high gas prices could also lower economic growth in 2026 by 0.4 percentage points from the previously forecasted 1.4%.
