ECB's Executive Board member Schnabel: Current inflation driven by pandemic-related factors that can be expected to phase out in next year

  • Current rise can largely be attributed to temporary factors
  • Overreacting to such factors could be harmful
  • There's some uncertainty as to how persistent some of the factors could be
  • It's premature to assume prices will entirely subside next year
  • Chances are high that above-target inflation will fall back
  • Reopening has pushed up services inflation
  • Supply chain disruptions could be a more durable effect on prices
  • Pandemic may have altered behaviour
