On the other hand, the ECB&#8217;s Holzmann highlighted that the trade war\u2019s escalation could require the ECB to implement unconventional monetary policies, such as negative interest rates or quantitative easing.

A major concern was that tariffs would drive up the cost of imports, particularly from the U.S. or other countries affected by the trade conflict. This could exacerbate inflation, forcing the Bank of England to adjust its monetary policy to combat rising prices.
