Eurozone and USA: Central banks needs energy Both the ECB and the US Fed are facing major challenges. Both central banks are crisis-tested, but the current environment is new.

The question of what will happen to energy prices and whether gas rationing will be introduced hangs over Europe. In the special section on Energy prices before the turnaround, we analyzed gas and electricity supplies.
