The upside potential is limited, and the
positive scenario assumes a faster
resolution of supply side problems and
prices normalising more than expected,
reinforcing the base effects that are the
main drivers of an inflation downturn.
.
In the base scenario, the war in Ukraine,
continued high energy prices and higher
interest rates have significant economic
impact and GDP growth forecasts have
been lowered for 2022. However, a soft
landing is expected supported by a number
of positive forces.
New fiscal stimulus measures will provide
short-term support for growth in the euro
area. Supply side problems currently driving
inflation will eventually ease and the real
up
interest rates will remain low despite key
rate hikes.
The negative scenario reflects the
downside risks of reversals in central
bank policies. Factors that may be
underestimated include the interest rate
sensitivity of the economy, such as the
impact of rates and yields on share and
home prices, and a stronger and more
protracted inflation upturn requiring
further central bank actions.
The possible need for energy rationing in
Europe and China's economic headwinds
are other downside risks.
