Recovery: Economic growth in the eurozone is expected to pick up later this year
The eurozone is facing significant risks due to global trade tensions, a possible No Deal Brexit and debt-laden countries’ failure to reform, top economists have warned.
Countries within the euro area must do more to firm up their resilience to a recession, the International Monetary Fund said.
Economic growth in the region is expected to pick up later this year after slowing in the second half of 2018, but the IMF said this could be derailed.
Trade tensions could push down demand for European products, and firms outside of the financial sector are ill-prepared for a No Deal Brexit, it added.
