Euro zone economy to rebound more strongly in 2021, 2022 – Commission By Reuters – Investing.com

By Jan Strupczewski

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The euro zone will rebound from its COVID-19 slump more than expected, the European Commission said on Wednesday, but some countries won't reach pre-crisis levels before the end of 2022 -- an argument for continued suspension of EU borrowing limits.

The aggregate growth of the 19 countries sharing the euro currency should be 4.3% this year and 4.4% in 2022, the European Union's executive arm said, revising upwards its forecast from February of 3.8% growth in both years.
