1 RISI EUROPEAN CONFERENCE (Barcelona, 6 March 2018) The European Economy Things look good just now. Can this last? Andrea Boltho Magdalen College University of Oxford and Oxford Economics
2 CONCLUSIONS OF RISI'S AMSTERDAM CONFERENCE 7 March 2017 THE EUROPEAN ECONOMY JUST NOW America, China and even Japan are growing, while several large emerging markets (e.g. Brazil and Russia) are recovering Activity is also rising in Eastern Europe, in Northern Europe, in the UK and even in the Eurozone In other words, all is well! Except that there is huge uncertainty due to past and possibly future political shocks
3 AND HOW ABOUT NOW? As we just heard, the world outside Europe seems to be doing well America and China are both growing and so are most Emerging Markets and even Japan Across Europe activity is strengthening. The Eurozone's 2½ per cent GDP growth in 2017 was the fastest since 2007 and 2018 could deliver something similar Nor does inflation look like posing a threat Fiscal and monetary policy will become less accommodating, but only gradually What cannot be ruled out is renewed currency appreciation On balance, however, the good times should last Yet, eventually, a recession will come!

13 WESTERN EUROPE - GROWTH OF GDP (three years moving averages) 4 Eurozone UK Scandinavia
14 RECESSIONS SEEM INEVITABLE (or expansions do not die of old age) Recessions in Western Europe: gap 7 years gap 11 years gap 10 years gap 6 years gap 4 years ?? gap 8 years??
15 WHAT COULD GO WRONG? An acrimonious Brexit Too small to matter A trade war (or Trump goes mad) Rather unlikely (but not impossible) Renewed Eurozone tensions Possible A new financial crisis More than possible 4.0 Anything else? North Korea The Middle East Who knows...
16 BREXIT - THE SHORT-RUN EFFECTS Inevitably, Brexit has had some negative effects on UK activity so far In particular, the sharp fall in the pound's value has raised inflation thereby reducing purchasing power and lowering the growth of private consumption In addition, firms in the tradeable sector are postponing investment in view of the uncertainties surrounding the final outcome of the negotiations
17 3 UK GDP GROWTH (% changes; 3 quarter moving averages) pre-brexit forecast (June 2016) DIFFERENCES Jun.16 Jan.18 (forecasts) GDP growth rate difference % per annum 2 Present forecast (Feb. 2018) 2017 Q4 Jun.16 Jan.18 (estimates) GDP ( bn.) difference bn equals mil. per week Source: Oxford Economics.
18 BREXIT - THE LONGER-RUN IMPACT There is still a lot of uncertainty on what the final settlement will look like, but even if one were to assume a "hard" Brexit with no trade agreement, most estimates suggest that the macro-economic effects for the UK will not be catastrophic. Oxford Economics, for instance, concludes, that even in its most unfavourable scenario, UK GDP would be only 3.9% lower in 2030 than it would otherwise have been The OECD has presented more pessimistic conclusions. In its most extreme case, 2030 GDP could be 7.7% lower than otherwise. And the UK government, has more recently 4.0 put forward a -8% figure by 2032 In other words, growth over the next 10 to 15 years could be cut by 0.3 to 0.7 per cent per annum For the rest of Europe, the negative effects would be rather small, with the exception of Ireland
19 A TRADE WAR (OR TRUMP GOES MAD) He has already taken the US out of the Trans Pacific Partnership He has imposed (or is imposing) tariffs on washing machines, solar panels, steel and aluminium So far these are mere pinpricks Assume he now takes the US out of NAFTA And imposes tariffs of 45% on Chinese imports, of 35% on Mexican imports and of 20% on Korean imports 4.0 And imposes tariffs, or other restrictions, on imports from the European Union Everybody retaliates Consequences? Not a world recession but certainly a slowdown
20 A TRADE WAR SCENARIO (per cent differences in GDP forecasts from central scenario) United States Eurozone China World Source: Oxford Economics.
21 POTENTIAL EURO TENSIONS The Eurozone remains a fragile construction While European unification led to rapid income per capita convergence between 1960 and 2000, this has now stopped and monetary union may have something to do with this Reforming EMU will be difficult given weak (or non-existent) governments in Germany and Italy 4.0 Tensions on financial markets could thus re-emerge forcing weaker countries into renewed austerity (as was the case in )

25 THE ITALIAN SITUATION As expected, the 4th March elections have not delivered a real majority Whatever coalition emerges, if any, it is unlikely to tackle Italy's two main problems: absence of productivity growth and massive public debt Three of the four leading parties promised both higher public expenditure and lower taxes! Expect sluggish growth at best and, possibly, renewed crises

27 EUROPEAN HOUSE PRICES* (1995 Q1 = 100) Sweden 220 U.K. 170 France Spain 120 Italy Germany * In real terms.

30 CONCLUSIONS The world economy is at present enjoying a generalized upswing Europe is, possibly, in a better position than many emerging markets (weighed down by high debt levels), or the United States (weighed down by Trump's unpredictability) Policies are accommodating, confidence is rising, unemployment is declining and while populism is still strong, this may not affect 4.0 the economy unduly Continuing solid growth in Europe is thus feasible for a number of years. But be prepared for possible shocks
