Eurozone economic growth continues to surpass expectations, according to Irene Lauro, Senior Economist for Europe and Climate at Schroders. According to Jin10, the region's internal demand is gaining momentum as low interest rates and fiscal support gradually permeate the economy. While overall inflation has fallen below target levels, the European Central Bank (ECB) is largely overlooking this due to the volatility of energy prices. Instead, policymakers are focusing on inflation in the services sector, where rates remain troublingly high. The anticipated end of the slowdown in wage growth this year is expected to exacerbate this issue. The ECB's decision today confirms the view that its next move will be to raise interest rates rather than cut them.#Eurozone #EconomicGrowth #InterestRates #FiscalSupport #Inflation #ECB #WageGrowth #ServicesSector #MonetaryPolicy #Schroders

The global economy is showing early indications of a synchronized shock, according to recent business surveys. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that these surveys reveal a downturn in manufacturing and services sectors across major economies. This development raises concerns about the potential for a broader economic slowdown.
