EU says inflation 'has continued to rise faster than expected'

Description

During a presentation of the latest European economic forecasts for 2022 and 2023, EU economy commissioner Paolo Gentiloni says that "inflation has continued to rise faster than expected, but we believe that the peak is near. Most likely at the end of this year". Europe is reeling from the economic shockwaves unleashed by Russia's war on Ukraine that has fuelled a spike in energy costs and hit the wallets of consumers around the continent. SOUNDBITE
