According to recent reports, the European Union’s economy is predicted to experience a 0.4% contraction this year, due to the ongoing global economic slowdown. This downward forecast follows the 1.5% growth the EU saw in 2019. The EU’s largest economy, Germany, is also expected to experience a recession with a projected 0.1% contraction in their GDP. This news comes amidst growing concerns over the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on global trade and economic growth.
