ECB Lifts 2026 and 2027 GDP Growth Forecasts

The European Central Bank raised its euro-area GDP growth projections, now expecting 0.9% in 2026 versus a previous forecast of 0.8%, and 1.4% in 2027 versus 1.2%. The 2028 growth forecast was left unchanged at 1.5%. The updated projections were published as part of the ECB’s latest staff macroeconomic outlook.

The revision is modest and back-loaded, with the nearer-term upgrade only a tenth of a point while the bulk of the improvement lands in 2027 — a profile that says more about expected recovery timing than about current momentum. For crypto and RWA markets, euro-area growth projections matter mainly through the rate path they imply, since stronger medium-term activity gives the ECB less reason to ease aggressively. Whether that 2027 upgrade survives contact with actual data is the open question.
