Despite a spending binge on defense and infrastructure in Europe\u2019s biggest economy, what could have been Germany\u2019s first meaningful year of growth since the aftermath of the pandemic is now looking less impressive. The government\u2019s Council of Economic Experts has lowered its outlook for expansion in 2026 to below 1%.<\/p>\n<p>In France, Europe\u2019s No. 2 economy, political instability is an ongoing challenge. While growth there is proving resilient, uncertainty is shaving about 0.5 percentage point off expansion, with domestic political and budget turbulence accounting for at least 0.2 point of that, according to the Bank of France.<\/p>\n<p>France is likely to own the region\u2019s worst deficit in the EU\u2019s outlook for public finances. One bright spot is Italy, which has brought its own shortfall down to the bloc\u2019s 3% ceiling faster than anticipated, and may even get an upgrade from Moody\u2019s Ratings on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <span> <\/span>       <\/p>\n<hr>\n<ul>\n<li data-testid=\"seamlessscroll-6c021b57-adb2-315d-b3d9-3c307071b8a9\"> <\/li>\n<li data-testid=\"seamlessscroll-ec474fa8-efe5-3757-bed1-a23e0f0f6220\"> <\/li>\n<li data-testid=\"seamlessscroll-06cc9877-7e1a-32f1-81ae-48820c4c41b1\"> <\/li>\n<li data-testid=\"seamlessscroll-8aeb66c1-6a47-3bc7-8c3a-f41ee55e762a\"> <\/li>\n<li data-testid=\"seamlessscroll-d0192c40-607b-3810-aad9-4c58fffcb1d6\"> <\/li>\n<li data-testid=\"seamlessscroll-56ac730b-068d-3740-a13e-3feda8d738fa\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section>\n<header> <\/header>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Craig Stirling Sat, November 15, 2025 at 4:00 PM EST 9 min read (Bloomberg) &#8212; European Union officials may cut growth forecasts for 2026 in the coming week in an assessment of damage to the region\u2019s economy, a year after Donald Trump won back the White House.
