As part of the broader inflationary trend, the war in Iran is set to spill over into supermarkets, with rising food prices.&nbsp;<span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">This is the warning issued by the President of the European Central Bank,&nbsp;<strong>Christine Lagarde<\/strong>, during her hearing in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/committees\/en\/econ\/home\/highlights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;the Committee on Economic Affairs&nbsp;<\/a>at the European Parliament.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The vice-chair of the same parliamentary committee, the Slovak Liberal <strong>Ludovit Odor<\/strong> (RE), is seeking clarification on a specific aspect of the cost of living. \u201cIt is more complicated to make forecasts for food inflation,\u201d Lagarde begins. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/2026\/03\/16\/iran-conflict-eu-fears-for-food-security-and-a-new-migration-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">She points out that a significant quantity of fertiliser passes through the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>. Yet, \u201cin recent months, the price of basic foodstuffs has fallen, and this is counter-intuitive.\u201d Because, she continues, \u201cwe would have expected the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to lead to a rise in food inflation, but this has not been the case.\u201d Therefore, she explains, \u201cwe believe\u201d that <strong>a rise in the cost of food \u201cwill take longer<\/strong>\u201d to materialise, and \u201c<strong>we are more likely to see it in the course of 2027<\/strong> than in the course of 2026.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, following the rise in utility bills, we are now facing a rise in the cost of living.
