Eurozone Economic Outlook: Historic collapse of Eurozone economy (July 2020)
The lockdown measures in the euro area from mid-March onwards have forced many companies to slow abruptly down their activity. This caused GDP to fall remarkably in Q1 2020 by 3.6%. The greatest negative contribution came from private consumption. Households reduced their activities in response to rising Covid-19 infection numbers and following governments’ orders or advices on staying at home and respecting social distancing rules.
