Inflation in the euro area was then slightly above 2%. Given the movements in the euro’s exchange rate in previous months and sluggish growth in the euro area, we expected that inflation rates would decline, but only to levels close to 2%.
但我们的估计却有所不同。欧元区的通货膨胀稍高于2%。考虑到前几个月欧元汇率的走向和欧元区经济的缓慢发展，我们预计通货膨胀率会略有下降，而后会在2%左右徘徊。
