Macro: COVID-19 Economic update euro area Part 3: Euro area recession - sharper and deeper than 2008/09

Efforts to contain the corona pandemic are accompanied by severe economic restrictions in many euro countries. The result will be a sharp and deep recession in the monetary union. At the same time, initial estimates of the economic output loss that have already occurred indicate dramatic setbacks by historical standards. However, we cannot and do not want to extrapolate from these results when estimating future economic activity. Moreover, we assume that it will be possible to contain the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe to a certain extent in the coming weeks. This should lay the ground to revive economic activity in a watchful and responsible manner possibly also with temporary setbacks towards some normalisation in the course of Q2 and especially Q3.
