The dependence on fossil fuels is a recurring cause of inflation, and central banks as well as fiscal policy should work durably against price increases by promoting electrification and renewable energies.

Central banks must engage in this debate and more strongly address the risk that our dependence on oil and gas poses to price stability

Greenpeace calls on central banks to more strongly recognise the dependence on fossil fuels as a recurring cause of inflation. The analysis refers to programmes promoting green lending, such as those introduced by the Chinese and Hungarian central banks, among others. Vargas argues that central banks must more strongly address the risk that oil and gas dependence poses to price stability. This should also include monetary policy instruments that support investment in renewable energies and electrification. The federal government should protect people durably from price increases by promoting electrification rather than subsidising fossil fuels in the short term. The text links macroeconomic stability with the energy transition and sees fossil fuel dependencies as a structural inflation factor.

Greenpeace is calling on central banks to more strongly recognize the dependence on fossil fuels as a recurring cause of inflation. As a possible addition, the analysis mentions programs to promote green lending, such as those introduced by, among others, the Chinese and Hungarian central banks. “Central banks must engage in this debate and more strongly address the risk that our dependence on oil and gas poses to price stability,” says Vargas. “This also includes monetary policy instruments that support investments in renewable energies and electrification.” Vargas further states that the federal government is also called upon: “Fiscal policy can also permanently protect people from price increases by promoting electrification, rather than subsidizing fossil fuels in the short term.”
Full text in the original
Greenpeace fordert von den Zentralbanken, die Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energien stärker als wiederkehrende Inflationsursache anzuerkennen. Als mögliche Ergänzung nennt die Analyse Programme zur Förderung grüner Kreditvergabe, wie sie unter anderem die chinesische und die ungarische Zentralbank eingeführt haben. „Zentralbanken müssen diese Auseinandersetzung führen und das Risiko unserer Abhängigkeit von Öl und Gas für die Preiswertstabilität stärker thematisieren”, sagt Vargas. ”Dazu gehören auch geldpolitische Instrumente, die Investitionen in erneuerbare Energien und Elektrifizierung unterstützen.” Ebenso sei die Bundesregierung gefragt, so Vargas weiter: “Auch die Finanzpolitik kann die Menschen dauerhaft vor Preissteigerungen schützen, indem sie Elektrifizierung fördert, statt kurzfristig fossile Kraftstoffe zu subventionieren.“
