Germany Warns Falling Euro Could Push Inflation Even Higher

Germany Warns Falling Euro Could Push Inflation Even Higher

May 21, 2022 26 secs

Germany’s Finance Minister Christian Lindner warned that a weak euro might be driving up inflation in Europe and encouraged the European Central Bank to increase interest rates, an unusual step that underlines the growing concerns in Europe’s largest economy about the rapid pace of price increases.

The euro has fallen close to parity against the dollar in recent weeks and is currently trading at around $1.05, down from about $1.22 a year ago.

That partly reflects the relative weakness of the eurozone economy, which has been squeezed by surging energy prices, as well as the anticipation of further interest-rate increases by the Federal Reserve.
