Weekly Economic Briefings - Eurozone Weekly Economic Briefing - Eurozone
Survey data this week shows that a strong rebound is continuing. But while the next round of forecasts will very likely prompt some upward adjustments to our eurozone numbers (currently we expect 1.4% q/q growth for Q2), downside risks have not fully vanished. Supply bottlenecks in manufacturing and the increasing prevalence of the delta variant are the two main headwinds that the eurozone economy could face over the coming months. Italian Prime Minister Draghi’s meeting with EC President Ursula von der Leyen in Rome this week coincided with the EC giving the green light for Italy’s Recovery Plan. But as we warned in a recent publication, without structural reforms the plan will not be a game-changer, resulting in only marginal support for the Italian economy over the next few years.
