For us economists, it is interesting to look at how the layperson perceives the economy versus what the numbers are showing. Ask most people, “Which economy is more important: China or Europe?” and you will get a lot of thoughts on China’s economy.

However, the data shows that the EU and UK combined make up over 20% of global economic activity, versus 16.8% for China (2023 data). Both Europe and China are key parts of the global economy, but perhaps Europe – a critical hub of global economic activity – does not get the airspace it should.

Join ITR Economics Director of Research and Development Eric Post as he covers essential industry and country-specific trends in this month’s Insider Webinar.

In the webinar, Eric will address key themes such as Europe’s demographic trends, which have an outsized influence on economic growth prospects. He will also delve into major markets such as automotive, machinery, energy, and more. Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of where Europe’s economy is headed and what that means for their business.
