**[Eurozone Inflation Falls to Target Level, ECB May Keep Interest Rates Unchanged]**
Eurozone inflation has fallen to the European Central Bank's target level, with the consumer price index rising 2% year-on-year in December, down from 2.1% the previous month and in line with expectations. Core inflation dropped to 2.3%, and inflation in the services sector also eased. Price increases have fluctuated around the 2% target for more than six months, and the ECB has kept borrowing costs unchanged since June. Economists and investors expect no interest rate adjustments in the short term. Policymakers believe inflation is under control but remain cautious about global economic uncertainties, forecasting average inflation at 1.9% in 2026 and potentially rising back to 2% by 2028.
