Eurozone | More protracted weakness to cause lower growth in 2019, some recovery in 2020
Summary
GDP forecasts revised down to 1.0% in 2019 and 1.3% in 2020 driven by global headwinds and a delay in the recovery. The strength of domestic factors along with accommodative monetary policy should continue to underpin consumption and investment, while fiscal policy is slightly more expansive. The most imminent risks remain Brexit and protectionism.
