继2017年欧盟实现近10年来第一次所有成员国都增长的“全家福”之后,2018年欧盟继续保持了这一势头,但增速放缓。尤其到下半年,减速明显。贸易增速也下降,贸易平衡由顺差转为逆差。欧洲经济景气指数自2013年抬升以来,到2018年1月达到了峰值,此后一路下降。从国际因素来看,美国贸易单边主义是欧洲经济增长不确定性的主要因素。面对世界经济的不确定性,欧洲经济增长也带来不确定性。为稳定经济,欧央行推迟退出量宽。2018年希腊正式结束第三次救助,这也标志着长达8年的欧债危机的终结。2018年也是金融危机爆发10周年,从数据上看,欧洲国家的经济实际上经历了失去的10年。
<<The overall economic growth of all EU member states in 2017,which was the first time in the past ten years,continued in 2018,However a slow-down was recorded,and became more apparent at the second half of 2018. The growth of trade volume of EU28 also slowed down,which finally turned from surplus to deficit. The Index of the European Economic Sentiment had been rising since 2013. It peaked in January 2018,and has been going downward since then. Arguably,the American unilateralism contributes most to the uncertainty of European economic growth. In order to stabilize the economy,the ECB postponed the quit from the QE. The Third bail-out program to Greece conduded,and also ended the eight-year long European Sovereign Debt Crisis. The year of 2018 marks the ten-year milestone of financial crisis,and the European countries defacto lost a decade in economy.
