IMF Executive Board Concludes 2026 Consultation with Euro Area
July 16, 2026--The war in the Middle East has weakened the euro area outlook, with growth projected to slow from 1.4 percent in 2025 to 0.9 percent in 2026 and 1.2 percent in 2027 and headline inflation projected to rise from 2.1 percent in 2025 to 2.9 and 2.3 percent, respectively.
Risks are skewed toward weaker growth and higher inflation, with the extent of energy market disruption from the war in the Middle East being the largest source of uncertainty.
Monetary policy should aim to keep inflation expectations anchored and fiscal policy should mitigate the war's harm to activity while remaining prudent. Structural fiscal consolidation remains a priority, especially in high-debt countries. Reforms should focus on strengthening energy security, deepening the single market, and lifting medium-term growth.

Financial Market Reforms Could Lift Europe's Growth
July 14, 2026-Integrating and deepening banking and venture capital markets would boost output by at least 3 percent, and make business dynamism reforms more powerful
French startup Mistral AI's recent financing round was led by ASML, a Dutch maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Such cross-border investments-even when small relative to US deals-are not the norm in Europe.
Far more often, good projects fail to scale. Among the reasons: Europe's considerable savings are compartmentalized within national borders, and hard to connect to high-risk, high-return projects.
The main burden falls on Europe's young and innovative companies, as we show in a new IMF Staff Discussion Note exploring how fragmented and shallow European financial markets continue to hold back their growth.
