1 Eurozone Economic Watch February 2018
2 Eurozone: Strong growth continues in 1Q18, but confidence seems to peak GDP growth moderated slightly in, but there was an upward revision to previous quarters. Available data suggests that domestic demand could slow, but offset by increasing net exports. GDP increased by 2.5% in 2017, above potential for the third year in a row. Our MICA-BBVA model estimates a slight upturn in GDP growth to around 0.6/0.7% QoQ in 1Q18, but we continue to see a moderation over the year ahead, to average a still strong growth of around 2.2% in Hard data improved by year end boosted by strong domestic fundamentals and steady global growth. Strong exports, despite the moderation in foreign orders, continued to support the recovery in the industrial sector and investment. There is some moderation in private consumption, but improving labour market and low inflation continue to support consumer confidence. Sentiment indicators remain very strong compared with their historical averages and leading components are consistent with resilient activity in coming months, but February figures moderated markedly, indicating that the optimistic mood might have reached a peak. Headline inflation eased in January to 1.3% in the EZ, and could decline a bit further in February due to energy base effects. Core inflation surprised slightly upwards, increasing to 1.2% YoY. Confidence surveys show some incipient signs of price pressures in coming months, in line with our forecast of a gradual increase in core inflation over the year. 2
