WHY EURO AREA INFLATION COULD STAY BELOW 2% FOR LONG
Most analysts expect a downward revision to the ECB's inflation forecasts in December, which might show a period of below-target inflation.
The big unknown is how long consumer price pressures will stay there.
Economists at BNP Paribas see a "non-negligible risk" that a 'temporary' period of sub-2% inflation could lead to something more protracted.
They argue that inflation tends to be an autoregressive process – a function of its past values -- in the euro area.
Wage-setting is predominantly driven by collective bargaining, covering more than 75% of total employees.
"Negotiated wages tend to have a strong correlation with past inflation, with a lag of around nine months," they say.
"With services accounting for 45% of the overall inflation basket and closer to two-thirds of core – and wages being by far the largest component of services' firm's total cost base – it is not difficult to see why the euro zone inflation process is particularly backwards-looking in nature."
