Strong policy choices needed to rebuild momentum

Launching BUSINESSEUROPE’s Autumn Economic Outlook, Director General Markus J. Beyrer commented: “Europe’s economic recovery has lost some momentum but has not stalled. There are clear signs that genuine structural reforms are contributing to the recovery in a number of Member States, such as Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal and Spain. But additional structural reforms are needed. To rebuild growth, Europe should support competitive product and services markets, labour market flexibility, improved access to finance, and a deeper single market.”
