The European Central Bank’s latest assessment is bleak, and ECB President Mario Draghi has made no secret of the fact that risks remain on the downside. Nominal GDP growth – that is, real growth plus inflation – will not exceed 1.5% this year and may well end up perilously close to 1%.
欧元区增长和通胀仍然太弱。欧洲央行的最新评估令人悲观，而其行长德拉吉早已不在掩饰风险仍在于衰退的秘密了。今年的名义GDP增长——即真实增长加上通货膨胀——不会超过1.5%，很有可能只有1%左右。
