Eurozone key trends in 2022
The eurozone economy experienced a strong recovery this year in line with our expectations, and we expect another year of strong growth in 2022, as strong consumers and corporates take over the baton for growth from governments, as policy starts to shift from emergency support towards fiscal sustainability. But the European economy faces increasing headwinds going into the winter, which means a choppy recovery at the start of the year. A resurgence of Covid cases, high inflation and supply chains problems will continue to act as headwinds in the near term, but we expect these will gradually dissipate as we move further into 2022.
We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas:
- APAC – Wednesday 17th November | 10:00 HKT
- EMEA – Wednesday 17th November | 10:00 GMT
