MADRID, March 3 (Reuters) - Core inflation in the euro
zone is likely to prove sticky this year due to higher wages and
government support, the European Central Bank's vice president
Luis de Guindos said on Friday.
"We're going from an energy shock to another with different
drivers such as salaries and fiscal policy," de Guindos told an
event in Madrid.
"We believe headline inflation will keep decelerating in the
coming months... (and) may be lower than 6% around mid-year.
Underlying inflation is going to be more stable."
