Ahead of the phase-in of the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) from the start of 2026, and the associated phase-out of free carbon permits for EU producers, this Focus assesses the implications for economic growth, inflation and monetary policy in the EU. In short, CBAM will only deal a very small blow to the economy at the macro level and won’t have a significant bearing on monetary policy. But neither will it be a boon for the bloc’s beleaguered industrial sector.
