With rising energy prices and supply shortages weighing heavily on sentiment, policymakers continue to face pressure to tackle the surge in prices that is expected to reduce the purchasing power of consumers.

Following on from last month’s ECB meeting, the European Central Bank (ECB) has suggested that a reduction in the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (PEPP) may be expected in the foreseeable future. As the ECB prepares for the next meeting on 6 October 2021, focus on rising energy prices is likely to remain a key focal point for both consumers and investors alike.

As Europe prepares for winter, supply constraints in the oil and gas industry combined with rising commodity prices continue to dampen sentiment, impacting consumer spending despite low interest rates.
