European Commission released a new set of economic projections for the Eurozone today. EC boosted 2023 and 2024 GDP forecast slightly while also raising inflation expectations in both years. It was explained that upward revision to inflation forecasts was because of persisting upward core price pressures. While GDP forecasts were increased, it was also noted that downside risks to the economic outlook increase.
