Statement by the EESC Employers' Group on the European Commission's Autumn 2020 Economic Forecast - Economy might be harder hit than predicted by the European Commission forecast

The EESC Employers' Group agrees with the European Commission's Autumn 2020 Economic Forecast, which makes it clear that Europe's economic rebound has been interrupted by the resurgence of the pandemic. The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is leading to continuing high levels of uncertainty and downside risks, such as a rise in unemployment, growing deficits and public debt, reduced investment activity and consumer spending and a labour market downturn in the European economy. The EESC Employers' Group believes that the current high level of uncertainty could make the Autumn Economic Forecast less accurate and that the economy might be even harder hit than predicted by the European Commission.
