EUROFRAME Report Winter 2019/2020

The 2020 EUROFRAME Economic Assessment of the Euro Area report has been released.

This Euroframe Report presents an assessment of the economic outlook for 2020 and 2021 focused on the euro area based on a synopsis of the forecasts of Euroframe institutes.

On average, GDP is expected to rise by 1.1 per cent in 2020 and 1.3 per cent in 2021.
