Desaceleración de economías de la UE

May 16, 2018 - El crecimiento económico en Europa diminuyó su ritmo en los tres primeros meses de 2018, mientras que la producción industrial en la eurozona subió 0,5% en marzo, luego de tres descensos mensuales consecutivos.

Eurostat numbers released Tuesday showed that first-quarter growth in Germany, the Netherlands and Britain all slowed more than forecast in the three months through March, while the euro-area expansion slid from 0.7 percent to 0.4 percent.

The beast from the East, strikes, capacity constraints and even a flu outbreak hit the three months through March. While Europe’s European Central Bank policymakers are putting a brave face on things, the corporate world has pointed to pressure from a stronger euro -- up 13 percent since January 2017 -- and oil prices at their highest since 2014.
