FRANKFURT, Oct ‌6 (Reuters) - ​High ​euro zone energy costs have yet to ‌generate second-round inflation effects, ⁠and the strength of such ‌a pass-through is ‌uncertain, European Central Bank chief economist Philip Lane told ​Italian news agency ANSA.

"We have not seen ⁠so far very strong second-round effects. ​We continue to look at them," Lane said ​in an interview ‌published on Tuesday. "That's why, even though I ⁠am a promoter of the scenarios, it is ⁠too simplistic to say we're in ​the adverse scenario or the baseline scenario."

"Energy prices are high ‌but the strength of the pass-through to ‌the rest of the ⁠economy remains ‌uncertain," Lane ​added.
