摘要

Prospects for global economic activity have improved in recent months, despite intensified political uncertainties and an upturn in inflation, according to the latest Eurozone economic outlook report. The near-term outlook for business has also brightened, with a continued recovery in international trade expected to boost sales in 2017, according to Eurozone forecasts from the Ifo (Munich), Insee (Paris), and Istat (Rome) economic institutes. Eurozone growth was 0.4% in the fourth quarter of 2016, or 1.7% on an annual basis.
