2014 Article IV Consultation with the Euro Area Concluding Statement of the IMF Mission

June 19, 2014--1. The euro area recovery is taking hold. Real activity has expanded for four consecutive quarters. An incipient revival in domestic demand is adding to the impetus from net exports. Financial market sentiment has improved dramatically, particularly after the recent ECB measures. Sovereign and corporate yields are now at historic lows in many countries, and lower funding costs have helped banks raise more capital.

2. Strong policy actions have boosted investor confidence and laid the foundations for recovery. At the national level, governments have made progress in repairing sovereign and bank balance sheets and pursuing structural reforms to restore competitiveness. At the area-wide level, policy makers have demonstrated collective commitment to the EMU, for example, through progress on building a banking union. And the ECB has taken a wide range of measures to support demand and address fragmentation. The ECB's Comprehensive Balance Sheet Assessment to be completed later this year is encouraging recapitalization and helping boost confidence in the banking system.

3. But the recovery is neither robust nor sufficiently strong.
Activity and investment have yet to reach pre-crisis levels. The recovery of private investment has been weaker than in most previous recessions and financial crises. In the first quarter of 2014, growth was weaker than expected and unevenly distributed across countries.
Balance sheets are still impaired and debt levels elevated. Public debt levels remain high. Weakness in banks' balance sheets inhibits the flow of credit and corporate and household debt overhangs impede demand.
