The International Monetary Fund underlines the need for urgent action to counter Europe's stagnating economy, with growth estimated at just 0.8% in 2025.

The IMF has warned that Europe risks stagnation due to slow economic growth, weak investment and geopolitical threats. The eurozone economy could grow by just 0.8% in 2025 despite minimal unemployment. The IMF calls for "decisive momentum" to deepen the EU's single market, estimating that harmonizing regulations could boost GDP by 3% in 10 years. There are also risks for companies exposed to the US market, but the European banking system is considered stable.
