🌎 This week our economists look at three critical issues: 1. Eurozone: What are the reasons behind Southern Europe's remontada. Record-high tourism activity has been a major driver of the Mediterranean recovery, while core European countries such as Germany have been more exposed to the downturn in manufacturing. Looking at the supply side of GDP suggests increased employment and recovering productivity per hour worked have also helped, while NGEU investments have also contributed 1.0 and 1.2pp to growth from 2021 to 2024 in Italy and Spain, respectively. Looking ahead, we expect the growth gap between Southern and core European economies to narrow further as the longer-term effects of the NGEU program take hold. 2. German elections: The budget math is not mathing. As Germany heads to the polls on 23 February, all parties are making big promises, including tax cuts, higher public investments and pension increases to stimulate growth. To meet the financing needs, the economy would need an additional EUR388bn-EUR616bn of growth annually, a difficult task given the projected stagnation in 2025. The risk of a status quo bias for the future coalition is unfortunately high, when the German economy needs bold, visionary reforms and strong alignment across parties to stimulate and secure growth. 3. US reciprocal tariffs: An eye for an eye? The US “Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs” risk raising the US global effective tariff rate by another +13pps. This would mean further tariff hikes of +12pps on China and +13pps on the EU, bringing us closer to our “full-fledged trade war” scenario where GDP growth would be chopped by -0.7pp in China and -0.8pp in the EU by 2026. Argentina, India, Brazil, Chile and Kenya would be hit the hardest. While some trade partners may have until April to provide concessions and try to strike deals with President Trump, others may not be so lucky and will likely retaliate against the US.

🌍 What to Watch: January 2025 Global markets are at a crossroads. The Fed holds rates steady, while Europe cuts and Japan hikes.

Liabilities 101: 📖 - Accounts Payable = short-term debts for goods/services bought on credit. - Notes Payable = formal loans with a promise to repay, often long-term.
