Inflation remains high but, judging by the latest figures published for the Eurozone, it is much less so and, at first glance, it is no longer very far from the 2% target. Of course, there is still some way to go; the uncertainty relates in particular to how fast the “last mile” of disinflation will be covered, before reaching the 2% target. It is to be expected to be slow rather than quick, partly because favorable base effects on energy prices will play less.
