According to the latest forecast of the ECB, the growth of GDP in the eurozone this year will amount to 4.6%, which is significantly higher than the March forecasts. This became known during the speech of the head of the regulator Christine Lagarde at a press conference following yesterday's meeting of the Board of Governors. Lagarde also noted that this assessment of the economy is presented in the baseline scenario of macroeconomic forecasts by the Central Bank for June 2021. According to these forecasts, GDP growth in 2022 will grow by 4.7%, and in 2023 by 2.1%. Compared to previous ECB estimates, which were made in March, GDP growth forecasts for 2021 and 2022 have been revised upward (4% and 4.1%, respectively). The forecast for 2023 remains unchanged. According to inflation forecasts, consumer prices are expected to rise 1.9% in 2021, 1.5% in 2022, and 1.4% in 2023. According to the March forecast, inflation was expected to be 1.5% this year, 1.2% next year and 1.4% in 2023. The correction of estimates is associated with the dynamics of energy prices.
