Eurozone | Recovery Tracker shows momentum stalling, not reversing

Our Recovery Tracker recorded a second consecutive mild contraction in the week ending July 25, falling 0.3pts to 85. This suggests momentum may be stalling in the eurozone, but we caution against overinterpretation just yet.

  • The contraction shows that a sustained recovery isn’t possible without
    strong health fundamentals
  • Traveling the final mile to reach pre-pandemic activity levels might prove tricky
