French banks risk falling behind European rivals and losing out on windfall profits from rising interest rates due to rules which hamstring their ability to reprice loans.

Despite measures such as retail price caps introduced even before the war in Ukraine sparked an energy crisis, food and power prices in Hungary rose about 50 per cent in December compared with the previous year, according to government data.
The Kremlin has justified withholding statistics during wartime but country’s central bank governor is pushing back
Fertiliser and crop prices have fallen sharply since their peaks after last year’s Russian attack on Ukraine. Food prices were already elevated before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine early last year, due to droughts and coronavirus pandemic-related hoarding by governments and businesses. Then crop nutrient prices soared as a result of Moscow’s position as the world’s largest fertiliser exporter, while the jump in natural gas prices, a critical ingredient for nitrogen fertilisers, also piled pressure onto agricultural markets.
