PARIS (Reuters) – Inflation should ease back down off its current hump later this year as energy and supply-chain pressures subside, Bank of France Governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau said on Thursday.
“We think that inflation will step down in the coming quarters, let’s say due to energy prices and due to an easing of supply chain problems,” he told an event organised by website Politico.
“The most important question mark is about energy prices,” he said, adding that high uncertainty required “increased optionality” on monetary policy moves.
