The Eurozone growth is below 2% by the end of 2012 due to the efforts of many countries in the region to resolve problems with their debts. This forecast in a statement today, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said Wall Street Journal. IMF stresses that there are three main areas that need attention in order to achieve a sustainable economic recovery: dealing with weakness in the banking sector, the implementation of ambitious plans for fiscal consolidation and continuation of fundamental structural reforms of social insurance and the labor market. After the 16 eurozone countries sharply increased their overall fiscal deficit in 2009 to counter the global recession, the IMF predicted that the euro will have a “neutral fiscal policy in 2010 and reduce its deficit over the next two years. A strict fiscal discipline will limit growth, indicated by the IMF, but at the same time it is needed to stabilize debt levels in the region. Fears of bankruptcy arising from the Greek financial crisis since the beginning of the year and motivate other highly indebted countries in the eurozone to reduce costs. “We expect that measures will be sufficient to address the debt crisis,” said a statement by the IMF. “However, in weak investor confidence and fiscal restructuring will limit potential growth.
As a result, the IMF predicted that unemployment in the euro area, which was 7.6% before the global recession in 2009 is expected to remain at 10.2 percent this year and fall only to 10.1% in 2012. Positive side, however, is the decline of the euro, which is expected to support exports. IMF states that the euro ‘is now stable. “Recovery of Europe will be facilitated further if the euro remains at these levels,” says Luke Evarart, Director of European Department of IMF. In deep risk for Europe is the return of the credit crunch. Credit meltdown of this magnitude by 2009 could cut gross domestic product (GDP) the euro area by 2% next year. IMF stressed that future growth in the region depends on the application of a number of structural reforms, but that progress in this direction is too episodic. Among the measures supported by the IMF, is raising the retirement age as a way of encouraging Europeans to work longer. Germany, said the IMF must improve competitiveness in the sector service, France would simplify procedures for the release of employees from work to accelerate the privatization Italy and Spain to reduce unemployment benefits to motivate the unemployed to seek new employment. IMF pointed out as important and need to strengthen the European institutions. “Now is the time to establish effective economic and monetary union by the strict application of healthy fiscal and structural policies, and completion of the overall framework for financial stability,” said the statement of the fund.
