Economic growth in Europe remains anaemic. In the first quarter of 2010, the eurozone and the EU-27 GDP growth has been of only 0.2 per cent. Yet
despite this marginal growth most of European governments have embarked on budget cuts and austerity in order to put their fiscal houses in order. This process will play out in parallel with household deleveraging in some countries as well as secular
trends—notably ageing—that will also bear down on growth. The continent faces
severe and simultaneous pressures on growth.
