European Commission Cuts Eurozone Growth Forecasts
The European Commission revised the EU’s growth outlook downwards, and the forecast for inflation upward as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine exerts further upward pressures on commodity prices, causing renewed supply disruptions and increasing uncertainty. Real GDP growth in both the EU and the Euro Area is now expected at 2.7% in 2022 and 2.3% in 2023, down from 4.0% and 2.8% (2.7% in the Euro Area), respectively, in the Winter 2022 interim Forecast. Inflation in the Euro Area is projected at 6.1% in 2022 (vs 3.5% previously), before falling to 2.7% in 2023. Inflation is expected to peak at 6.9% in the second quarter of this year and decline gradually thereafter. For the EU, inflation is expected to increase from 2.9% in 2021 to 6.8% in 2022, and fall back to 3.2% in 2023. Average core inflation is projected above 3% in 2022 and 2023 in both the EU and the euro area.

EU Revises Upward Eurozone GDP Forecasts
The European Commission revised upwards its Eurozone GDP forecasts for 2021 and 2022, saying activity in the first quarter of the year exceeded expectations and the improved health situation prompted a swifter easing of pandemic control restrictions in the second quarter. The Eurozone is seen expanding by 4.8 percent this year and 4.5 percent in 2022, compared with May estimates of 4.3 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively. The Commission also said that real GDP is projected to return to its pre-crisis level in the last quarter of 2021, one quarter earlier than expected, but warned that it is essential to maintain policy support as long as needed as uncertainty and risks surrounding the growth outlook remain high. Inflation, which has been below the ECB target for years, should accelerate to 1.9 percent in 2021 and slow down to 1.4 percent in 2022.
