Europe's Economy in the Trump Era

The election of Donald Trump as U.S. president has intensified several challenges for Europe, including economic instability and geopolitical tensions. Given the EU’s heavy reliance on trade, the looming threat of a tariff war with the U.S. could further weaken the bloc’s economic position. Additionally, Trump’s stance on NATO and the Russia-Ukraine conflict necessitates a rethinking of Europe’s geopolitical strategy and increased defense spending.

Looking to the Economic Long-Run

Registration for this event is currently closed.

The economy has successfully navigated through a period of extraordinarily high inflation and interest rates and avoided recession. Whether this good performance continues longer-run depends on multiple forces, including demographic trends, productivity growth, deglobalization, and the outcome of the elections. And of course the economy can be derailed at any moment by any of a number of potential shocks, ranging from geopolitical flashpoints to careening real estate markets.
 

We're coming to Irvine to discuss all of this. Join Chief Economist, Mark Zandi, and economists from across Moody's Analytics as they provide their insights and answer your questions in-person.
