The euro-area economy will pick up less momentum next year than previously foreseen and only expand slightly more strongly than in 2024, according to a Bloomberg survey.
Analysts in the poll now predict growth of 1% in 2025. While that’s up from 0.8% this year, it’s down from an earlier estimate of 1.2%. They also lowered their expectations for 2026 to 1.2% from 1.4%.
