The potential for more favorable
economic performance in the
positive scenario lies mainly in
inflation falling faster than the
current consensus and our main
forecast.
The base scenario maintains the
assumption that a deep economic
slump can be avoided although
there is a clear slowdown in
OECD countries.
Central banks are expected to
refrain from new rate hikes and
instead increase their
preparedness for monetary
easing in 2024, despite
underlying inflation remaining

The negative scenario reflects
the downside risk from the
monetary policy, especially
considering the lengthy time lag
before rate hikes have an
impact on the economy, and a
continued increase in
geopolitical risks.
