Editor's Note

Inflation continues to rise in Europe even as many countries are at risk of falling into recession. As Bloomberg reports, there’s now growing discord within the ECB over what to do about it.

The European Central Bank's unity over the size of monetary-policy moves risks unraveling in coming months as officials diverge on the pain they reckon the economy can handle in the depths of the energy crisis.
