About this work
A sharp deterioration in sentiment toward euro area growth stood out at the April 2022 Spring Meetings. Jonathan Fortun and coauthors describe how expectations moved toward their forecast of just one percent growth that year. Beyond discussions of Russia’s war and energy sanctions, they also identify rising concern about possible US sanctions on China, adding uncertainty to an economy already experiencing capital outflows.
