EC-Winter forecast 2013-The EU economy: gradually overcoming headwinds

February 22, 2013--On 22 February, the Commission published its first winter economic forecast for the euro area and the European Union as a whole. The forecast covers a wide range of indicators including gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, employment and public finances for 2012-14.

Gross domestic product

Financial market conditions in the EU have improved substantially since last summer. But economic activity has been disappointing in the second half of last year. However, leading indicators suggest that GDP in the EU is now bottoming out and economic activity is expected to gradually accelerate. The pick-up in growth will initially be driven by increasing external demand. Domestic investment and consumption are projected to recover later in the year, and by 2014 domestic demand is expected to take over as the main driver of strengthening GDP growth.
