Macroeconomic policy / 'Economic Outlook'
The Economic Outlook is our twice-yearly review of recent economic developments and projection of future economic developments. It is based on input from our member federations across Europe.
The EU economy is undergoing a strong recovery, but rapid price increases and bottlenecks in global supply chains are threatening to blunt the upturn.
Overall, we project for the EU27 economy to grow by 4.8% this year, boosted by the strong stronger than expected recovery following the end of pandemic restrictions, followed by 4.3% next year. This also means we expect the EU economy overall to reach its precrisis level this 2021, albeit with strong country differences.
