Nomura Economist Anderson Warns of Stagflation Risks in Europe

Nomura's Josie Anderson warned that Europe faces a heightened stagflation risk because the war is creating uncertainty for businesses and consumers. She said the conflict is suppressing demand while adding cost pressures, a combination that points to weaker growth with persistent inflation. The comment is negative for the European macro outlook, though it is analyst commentary rather than a new policy or data release.
