Key Quotes:

“The energy component remained weak at -8.7% y/y, but core inflation picked
up modestly to 1.0% y/y from 0.9%% y/y. Moving forward, base effects will begin to put upwards pressure on headline inflation.

However, for inflation to move back towards the ECB’s target on a sustainable basis, it requires an intensification of domestic cost pressures via a reduction of excess capacity in the economy. Progress on this front has been slow.”
