The European economy has shown resilience to shocks from the Middle East conflict, but reforms are needed for future challenges, warns an IMF official. Mateusz Szczurek noted that Europe's energy transition has helped mitigate the impact of energy shocks. However, growth remains fragile, with projections of only 1.2% growth in the eurozone by 2026. Szczurek emphasized the importance of prudent monetary and fiscal policies, alongside continued energy transition and reforms to enhance growth potential. He also urged France to adopt its 2027 budget promptly amid political uncertainties ahead of presidential elections.
