Vienna, Oct 15 (SocialNews.XYZ) Austria's central bank OeNB revised upwards its inflation forecasts for 2022 through 2024, citing surging energy prices and wage costs.
The bank said it now expects Austria's annual inflation rate to stand at 8.5 per cent in 2022, up from its projection of 7.6 per cent in July, reports Xinhua news agency.
Meanwhile, it has projected 6.4 per cent inflation in 2023, and 3.7 per cent in 2024, saying that anti-inflation measures may fail to have a significant impact.
