The recent review of the economic forecasts of the European Comission by 2024 indicates a slowdown in economic recovery of the European Union and the euro area, adjusting expected growth rates to lower levels than previously anticipated.
For 2023, growth of 0.5% is now expected, with a slight improvement in 2024 but still below expectations previous. This slowdown is influenced by several adverse factors, including reductions in purchasing power and weaker external demand, although a gradual recovery supported by the decrease in inflation and a favorable work environment.
In relation to inflation, projections point to a more accelerated reduction than had been estimated, with a downward trend that is expected to continue until reaching more sustainable levels by 2025. This decrease is mainly the result of the drop in prices energy prices and less pressure on consumer prices in general, which suggests an economic environment on the path to stabilization.
However, the economic context is affected by considerable uncertainty due to external factors, such as continued geopolitical tensions and the potential effects of trade disruptions, in addition to the associated risks to climate changes and extreme weather events. These factors could influence the projected growth and inflation path, adding an element of risk to the EU and Eurozone economic recovery expectations in the short to medium term.
