European Macro Outlook: What’s in a number?

Two consecutive quarters of negative growth is the technical definition of a recession. There has been a great deal of debate on whether the economies of the euro area and the UK are in a recession. If growth remains flat or is revised down for the final quarter of 2022, the underlying truth is that growth for the euro area and the UK has been subdued. Although the near-term outlook looks brighter than many expected six months prior, some downside risks remain. We continue to expect a mild recession in the UK and the euro area. In this report, we break down our baseline economic forecast and the implications it will have on CRE property sectors over the next couple of years.
