根據歐盟委員會(European Commission)對今年夏季的預測,歐洲經濟或將在今年最后三個月恢復到新冠肺炎疫情爆發前的水平,比預期要提前了一個季度。
由于新冠疫苗的供應量增加,歐盟的疫苗接種率幾乎趕上美國。歐盟(European Union)預計,疫苗接種活動將強勁反彈,足以擺脫原材料短缺的影響。
歐盟委員會的執行副主席瓦爾蒂斯?東布羅夫斯基斯在一份聲明中贊揚稱,由于抗擊新冠肺炎取得顯著進展,“所有正確的部分都已經到位”,經濟復蘇前景強勁。
他說:“由于遏制戰略有效,新冠疫苗接種進展迅速,我們經濟的重新開放速度能夠比預期更快。”他還補充道,7238億歐元(約8540億美元)的“復蘇及彈性基金”(Recovery and Resilience Facility)將支持未來的增長。
預計今年歐元區以整個歐盟的產出將以4.8%的速度增長,較春季的經濟預測分別修正了50個基點和60個基點。歐盟委員會還將兩地明年的國內生產總值增幅預估上調10個基點,至4.5%。
歐盟內部旅游業復蘇也展現出了樂觀情緒。這應當得益于新的歐盟新冠疫情數字證書(EU Digital COVID Certificate)。
但是,制造商成本上升意味著通脹也將高于預期,這給歐洲央行(European Central Bank)帶來了壓力。德國央行(Bundesbank)的行長延斯?魏德曼等鷹派人士呼吁,一旦經濟完全恢復到2019年的水平,就停止緊急資產購買。
預計稱,歐元區今年的平均消費價格漲幅將達到1.9%,比之前預測的1.7%要高。歐盟委員會還將其對2022年的預測略微上調了10個基點,至1.4%。
“由于國內外需求的強勁,我們將必須密切關注通脹的上升。”東布羅夫斯基斯說道。
歐盟委員會指出,圍繞增長前景的不確定性和風險很高,但總體上仍然保持平衡。委員會還補充稱,如果供應限制更加持久、上行壓力將更多地傳遞給消費者,消費者價格漲幅可能高于預期。
下一輪經濟預測將于今年11月公布。(財富中文網)

Europe’s economy should return to pre-pandemic levels in the final three months of this year, one quarter earlier than predicted, according to the European Commission’s summer forecast.
Thanks to an increase in vaccine supply that has seen the European Union all but catch up to the U.S. in its inoculation rate, Brussels expects a rebound in activity strong enough to shrug off shortages in raw materials.
In a statement, European Commission executive vice president Valdis Dombrovskis praised the robust outlook in which “all the right pieces falling into place” thanks to progress in the fight against the Coronavirus.
“Our economies have been able to reopen faster than expected thanks to an effective containment strategy and progress with vaccinations,” he said, adding the €723.8 billion ($854 billion) Recovery and Resilience Facility would support growth going forward.
Output in both the euro area and the broader EU is forecast to expand at a rate of 4.8% this year, a revision of 50 basis points and 60 bps, respectively, over the spring economic forecast. The Commission also hiked its estimates for next year’s increase in gross domestic product by 10 bps to 4.5% in both cases.
Evidence of a revival in intra-EU tourism provided further optimism, which should benefit from the new EU Digital COVID Certificate.
Rising costs for manufacturers means inflation will also come in hotter than expected, putting pressure on the European Central Bank. Hawks like Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann have called for an end to emergency asset purchases once the economy has fully recovered to 2019 levels.
Consumer price gains in the euro area are now expected to average 1.9% this year instead of the 1.7% previously seen. The Commission also marginally increased its forecast for 2022 by 10 bps to 1.4%.
“We will have to keep a close eye on rising inflation, which is due not least to stronger domestic and foreign demand,” Dombrovskis said.
Uncertainty and risks surrounding the growth outlook are high but remain overall balanced, according to the Commission. It added that consumer price hikes may turn out higher than forecast if supply constraints are more persistent and upward pressures are passed on to customers more strongly.
The next economic forecast is scheduled to be published in November.
