10.24.2014 ZF English

At the start of the last quarter of 2014, economic prospects in the euro-zone remain weak and suggest sluggish GDP growth, Euler Hermes analysts said in the latest Weekly Export Risk Outlook report.

If one is looking for positive surprises, the end of 2014 is not the best period to do it, the analysts opinated. Positive signals may extend from further measures adopted by the European Central Bank in the first quarter of 2015, the report says.

Euler Hermes expects GDP growth of 0.7% in the euro-zone in 2014.
