EC-2014 Autumn Economic forecast: Slow recovery with very low inflation

November 4, 2014--The European Commission's autumn forecast projects weak economic growth for the rest of this year in both the EU and the euro area. Real GDP growth is expected to reach 1.3% in the EU and 0.8% in the euro area for 2014 as a whole. Growth is expected to rise slowly in the course of 2015, to 1.5% and 1.1% respectively, on the back of improving foreign and domestic demand.

An acceleration of economic activity to 2.0% and 1.7% respectively in 2016 is expected to be driven by the strengthening of the financial sector (following the comprehensive assessment by the European Central Bank and further progress towards the Banking Union), as well as recent structural reforms starting to bear fruit.

S&P Dow Jones Indices-Europe Index Dashboard-October 2014

October 31, 2014--Macroeconomic concerns and equity volatility returned during a tough October for the European equity markets. The S&P Europe 350 fell by over 3%, taking a day-to-day lead from Greek government bond prices.

Leading the headlines: fears of deflation mounted as the ECB's stimulus program at the beginning of the month was judged unambitious, mid-month saw Germany cut GDP growth forecasts citing the "geopolitical crisis"; followed by dismal GDP and employment figures from France.

Finally, towards month end, 25 of around 130 banks were reported to have failed the ECB’s "stress-test" (not a surprising figure, but slightly worse than expected).
