Euro area
A gradual recovery is underway driven by economic policy stimulus, a rebound in world trade and improving financial conditions, although there has recently been significant financial market volatility. Difficulties in restoring competitiveness and sound public finances in some peripheral countries may complicate recovery. Persistently high unemployment in much of the euro area, and financial develeraging by indebted households and businesses will weigh on domestic demand. Substantial economic slack is likely to keep inflation low.
