For example, there'd be all this talk about jet fuel shortages and planes not being able to take off.
Hasn't happened.
The oil market seems to have been resilient as well.
Prices haven't gone up as much as the more pessimistic forecasters have said.
And they've come down in recent days.
We do, very little.
That says... This is not an upbeat speech.
No, no.
I suppose two bits of context around that.
The first is that the ECB are clearly...
trying to underline the fact that they're willing to act to keep inflation down.
And the reason they're doing that is because they're trying to affect people's expectations of what's going to happen to inflation.
So that was part of why they increased interest rates last week.
They're sending a message
They're trying to ensure that people don't start baking in higher inflation into their expectations for wages, for prices, and, you know, that it doesn't start rolling on.
And they're worried that, particularly looking at the service sector across the EU, which is kind of a good measure of domestic inflation as opposed to inflation that's imported, that that's starting to happen.
So there was nothing...
central bank, any central bank can do about oil prices or gas prices or electricity prices.
What they do try and do is stop that inflationary impulse, if you like, spreading throughout the economy.
So that's what they're at.
