ING Bank believes that the euro area is not yet in a deep recession but the economic recovery will be inconsistent. Eurozone November PMI data showed economic activity increased slightly but remained in contraction territory. Inflationary pressures are decreasing but have not been completely eliminated, and the employment outlook continues to deteriorate. The current recession hasn't gotten any worse, but there are few signs of recovery. Overall, this appears to be a technical recession.
