From Global Conflicts Strain World Economy; Iran War Cited as Major Drag

How could global conflicts straining the world economy affect the European Commission?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Global conflicts may force the European Commission to manage increased economic instability. Global conflicts, such as the war with Iran, are reported to be straining the world economy. This economic strain requires the European Commission to manage the resulting instability and disruptions within the European Union. The reports specify that the war with Iran has already cost $43.6 billion, not including the impact on consumer prices, which is estimated by Moody’s Analytics at $2000 per household. This global economic pressure necessitates regulatory and policy responses from the Commission.
