In 2024, the gross domestic product in the European Union grew by 1.1 percent, as economic stagnation and high inflation caused by the Russia-Ukraine war impacted European economies. The European Commission forecasts that the European economy will have grown by 1.4 percent in 2025, continuing the trend registered in the previous year. This represents slow economic growth after the post-pandemic resurgence, yet avoids the recession many commentators warned the EU might slip into. Growth is forecast to stagnate in 2026, at 1.4 percent, a figure considered low by historical EU standards, excluding periods of economic crisis.
