The uncertainty stemming from the US-Israeli attack on Iran is raising concerns in the Eurozone. There is a potential for a new energy shock which could reignite inflation and affect interest rates. European finance ministers will discuss economic issues at upcoming meetings. The chief economist of the ECB notes that significant risks for the economy are not expected at this stage. The ECB is likely to keep interest rates steady at 2% this year.
