Eurozone | Downward GDP growth revision due to increasing uncertainty and global headwinds
Summary
The EZ growth slowed more than expected in 2H18 as easing global support was exacerbated by one-off factors. This along with increasing uncertainty led us to revise downwards growth to 1.4% in 2019-20, but domestic factors remain solid underpinned by lower oil prices and accommodative policies. Risks are tilted to the downside, mostly related to political issues
