Lagarde Statement Begins:

ECB
We note that the wording on labour market seems a bit more downbeat: "The labour market is weakening" rather than "momentum is slowing"
  • The euro area economy remains weak. Recent information suggests that manufacturing output has continued to fall. Subdued foreign demand and tighter financial conditions are weighing on consumer and investment spending. The service sector has weakened. The economy is likely to remain weak for the remainder of this year.
  • As inflation falls further, household real incomes recover and export demand picks up, the economy will strengthen over the coming years. Economic activity has been supported by the strength of the labour market. Unemployment is at a historic low. But there are signs of weakening with fewer new jobs being created, particularly in services.
  • As the energy crisis fades, governments should continue to roll back related support measures to prevent upside pressure on prices.
