Summary:

Inflation has always had a strong global component, driven mostly by volatile energy prices. However, the unprecedented levels of inflation reached now cannot in all cases be explained by unprecedented energy prices – except for the euro area where gas prices have had a special impact. The international spill-over effects of national monetary policy are of uncertain sign. United States tightening has a negative impact abroad, especially in emerging economies because of the dominant role of the US dollar in global financial markets. Euro area tightening might have a positive impact on the US economy because a stronger euro helps, even if only marginally, other exporters.
