# ACER monitoring shows declining gas prices due to increased LNG imports and decreasing demand | www.acer.europa.eu

> The EU energy regulator ACER says rising LNG imports and lower demand have improved the European gas balance and pushed prices toward pre-crisis levels. It adds that supply remains tight, and China's LNG demand is a key factor for EU prices.

Stronger LNG inflows and weaker demand point to lower European gas prices, which reduces pressure on energy and fertilizer costs. Supply remains exposed to shocks, so the outlook is not fully bearish.
