BRUSSELS: The European Commission cut its 2023 forecast for economic growth in the eurozone by 0.3 points to 0.8 percent on Monday, mainly due to Germany’s poor performance.
“Latest data confirm that economic activity in the EU was subdued in the first half of 2023 on the back of the formidable shocks that the EU has endured,” the commission said.
