Eurozone | Industry offering some hope for a better year ahead
Strong industrial production numbers for November offer some hope that the worst is over, supporting our view of a gradual resolution of supply-side issues. Moreover, the strong gains in Spain and Italy could very likely result in some positive surprises for Q4 GDP.

- But the latter could be heavily affected by the evolution of the pandemic and behavioural shifts among consumers.
