Excerpt:

The eurozone economy is expected to stagnate in 2013, after shrinking by 0. 4% this year. And the broader European Union is expected to see a contraction of 0. 3% this year. Rising unemployment, higher taxes and reduced government spending will offset the positive effect of a gradual recovery in net exports from the 17 eurozone nations, the European Commission said in its latest economic forecasts. "Given the weak starting point, GDP in 2013 as a whole is projected to grow by only 0. 5% in the EU and to remain broadly stable in the euro area," it said, projecting eurozone GDP growth of just 0. 1% next year. The International Monetary Fund last month forecast eurozone growth of 0. 2% in 2013. Germany, Europe's biggest economy, no longer appears immune from the crisis engulfing some smaller members of the EU.

  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
