IMF – Regional Economic Outlook Europe, Oct 2025

Summary

The main theme of the report is the analysis of the economic situation in Europe, focusing on overcoming policy drift.

Key findings include Europe's movement towards a mediocre growth trajectory, inflation in advanced economies aligning with targets, but unevenly declining in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe. Major risks are associated with uncertainty, trade tensions, and the strengthening euro. Known barriers hinder medium-term growth and worsen fiscal prospects. Stable macroeconomic policies are needed to ensure short-term stability.
