- Eurozone recovery slowed in 2018 but from a high pace
- Growth has slowed earlier than expected
- Risks remain broadly balanced
- We remain confident in goals
- Uncertainty about the projected path of inflation has diminished

"In the first half of 2018, growth weakened from its very high rates of last year, partly reflecting lower exports, compounded by temporary supply-side constraints at national and global level."
His idea of 'very high pace' is evidently much different from mine. The eurozone grew 2.1% in 2017.
