    March 2 – European Central Bank Governing Council member Winsch stated that he currently prefers to ignore the surge in energy prices triggered by the Middle East conflict. The Belgian central bank governor told reporters in Brussels on Monday that if policymakers face an “oil shock,” they will have to assess the situation and decide what action to take. He pointed out that while rising oil prices are likely to put pressure on the economy, the net effect could trigger inflation. Winsch said, “We don’t know much yet, so I certainly won’t rush to react to any fluctuations in energy prices. If this situation persists longer, or if energy prices rise more significantly, then we will have to run our models and see what happens.”
