Market consensus expectations for real GDP growth rates in the EU and eurozone through 2023 look increasingly unrealistic. For the eurozone, our updated real GDP forecasts of 2.5% and 1.5% for 2022 and 2023 also remain below the market consensus expectations of 2.8% and 2.0%, respectively.

Europe's Road To Recession

Eurozone consumption is still experiencing a temporary bump from catch-up spending on services, although today's PMI figures are already starting to cast doubt on that view. This summer might still see some relief but after that, a consumption slump seems in the making.

The Eurozone's Consumer's Still Not Putting Their Money Where Their Mouth Is

The dynamics of higher inflation are mostly global in nature. The current environment is uncertain and the range of outcomes for European inflation remains wide.

European Inflation Update: Higher For Longer But Hedging Remains Well-Priced

At the press conference today, the European Central Bank tried to demonstrate a gradually accelerating hawkishness, keeping the door open to a series of rate hikes. Whether the ECB is now fully determined to bring inflation back to 2% as soon as possible or whether it will be a gradual process of policy normalisation remains unclear.

ECB Demonstrates Hawkishness

For the European Central Bank, the question is no longer if but when and by how much it will hike interest rates this summer. Once the rate lift-off has started, the next question will be how far the ECB can go.

In Europe, the tide of very easy money is about to go out at the very time that the Italian economy has been swimming naked. With the ECB's music of easy money about to end, the Italian government finds itself in dire straits.

European markets have been turbulent because of the region's proximity to the war in Ukraine and economic links with Russia.

The pandemic led to unprecedented government support schemes and a rethinking of government investment. Now, the war in Ukraine has led to a broad rethinking of European defence spending and yet another push for an even faster green transition and energy independence.

The eurozone energy crisis lingers on as market gas prices remain elevated and Brent oil prices continue to trend higher. For the eurozone economy, this is bad news. The higher consumer and producer prices are resulting in negative real wage growth and squeezed margins, weighing on private consumption.

Eurozone Energy Inflation To Drag On Household Consumption Throughout 2022

Labour shortages are reported to be limiting production more than ever in the eurozone, according to a business survey by the European Commission. One reason for the current labour shortage could be a shrinking active population.

House price growth in the eurozone is at its highest since 2006 as housing markets were supported by a limited impact of the pandemic on household finances, rising savings, historically low-interest rates, favorable financing conditions, and changing preferences. The improved macroprudential framework in Europe, increased supply of housing, and bottoming out of interest rates are expected to ease the upward pressures on price growth.

Are European Housing Markets Getting Too Hot?

Eurozone inflation jumped to 4.9% in November on the back of energy and goods prices. With wage growth lagging, consumers are therefore now facing a broad increase in prices, pushing real wage growth significantly into the red.

Eurozone Inflation Jumps To 4.9%, So Where Do We Go From Here?

Mario Draghi has seemed to work his economic magic on the Italian economy, producing a performance greater than expected with a further good outcome forecast for next year. Now, Mr. Draghi seems to be moving into the bigger picture of the European Union as he teams with French president Emmanuel Macron to extend his leadership to greater Europe.

Mario Draghi And Italy: Moving On

Today's ECB meeting is almost certain not to send any direct policy signal ahead of the December policy recalibration. However, the relevance of indirect signals linked to inflation won't be lost on investors.

Rates Spark: Inflation Signals

Europe has met the COVID-19 pandemic with audacity and imagination and is enjoying a strong but bumpy economic recovery. It now faces two policy challenges: controlling inflation and dialing back fiscal support.

Europe's Post-Pandemic Economic Challenges

Even if the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus pandemic does not trigger further country-wide restrictions, optimism regarding the short-term outlook for the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region is diminishing, as countries face shortages and delays along the supply chain. The logistics crunch has contributed to a surge in producer prices, further affected by rising energy and transportation costs, as well as a shortage of skilled labour.

Higher rates are ongoing, but we wouldn't blame it on the, very moderate in our view, central bank tone. Improving economic data after the Covid 19-induced soft patch is a more credible, and durable, driver for higher rates.

Rates Spark: The Long Way Up

Inflation accelerates alongside expectations of further interest rate hikes by central bank. Stockpiling efforts and greater global demand push input costs up at a significant pace.

One of the positive surprises about last year's recession is how little damage it inflicted on average household and corporate balance sheets in Europe. European household balance sheets also improved in aggregate in 2020, despite higher unemployment and shorter working hours. People stayed home more and spent less, while policy measures supported their income.
