【欧洲央行：高油价恐使欧元区增速下降0.4个百分点】欧洲央行24日发布报告说，中东战事引发的油价上涨预计将在冲击发生第一年拖累欧元区实际国内生产总值增速下降0.4个百分点。 报告指出，受霍尔木兹海峡石油运输受阻以及中东地区石油产量下降影响，布伦特原油价格显著上涨。对于依赖能源进口的欧元区国家而言，高油价通常意味着生产成本上升、居民购买力下降等，从而对经济活动带来明显影响。 报告同时认为，地缘政治冲突带来的高度不确定性可能使企业推迟扩产、设备更新和招聘计划，从而抑制投资活动。尽管近年来欧元区经济对石油的依赖程度有所下降，但投资者对地缘政治风险的敏感度并未明显减弱。 根据报告，高油价产生的相关影响仍存在较大不确定性，最终将取决于油价上涨的幅度和持续时间。若高油价持续时间超出市场预期，或冲突进一步冲击全球供应链并外溢至天然气市场，欧元区经济将面临更大下行压力。
