At this point, there is no confirmation yet that inflation has peaked, Lagarde added at Sparkassentag.
However, rate hikes are already feeding into lending conditions - said Lagarde.

The message is hawkish. Despite the decline in eurozone inflation, the ECB is clearly signalling that this is not the end in terms of hikes.
