From Q3 September 2024, Inflation has been seen to rise moderately in the European Union amidst falling rates. A handful of ECB officials suggest rates should be pushed down more as inflation is seen to be near the 2% target set by the Central Bank.

Or would we see inflation head back to the 2.3-2.2 range? What would this mean for European economies?
