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 picking up strongly, but the path back towards a full recovery after the COVID19-induced recession will be long and fraught with downside risks. The massive disruptions caused by the pandemic will take some time to shake off, with the long-term consequences continuing to be impacted by our present policy responses.
Reflecting these developments, we expect exports to continue to spearhead the economic recovery, gradually complemented by domestic consumption picking up in the summer. Our expectation is for the EU27 economy to grow by 4.4% this year, followed by 4.6% next year.
