Alternative scenarios for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity in the euro area

Retrieved on: 
Saturday, May 2, 2020

Prepared by Niccol Battistini and Grigor Stoevsky The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected global economic activity since early 2020.

Key Points: 
  • Prepared by Niccol Battistini and Grigor Stoevsky The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected global economic activity since early 2020.
  • Nevertheless, there could still be a prolonged period of social distancing and other containment measures in force for some time.
  • Despite the shortage of timely hard data, it is already clear that there has been a decline in economic activity of an unprecedented magnitude.
  • The high uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic warrants an analysis based on alternative scenarios.
  • These uncertainties can be illustrated through a scenario analysis, based on broad narratives for the aforementioned factors and their economic impact.
  • This box presents three alternative scenarios to illustrate the range of likely impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the euro area economy.
  • The different assumptions underlying the three illustrative alternative scenarios imply a range spanning from mild to severe expected economic impact.
  • Containment measures during the lockdown periods have a diverse impact across economic sectors in the euro area.
  • Strict containment measures are expected to severely affect economic activity in the euro area well beyond the short-term horizon.
  • The sectoral approach used to assess the economic losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic allows for the calculation of a time profile of indicative losses (as a percentage of maximum sectoral losses) implied by the virus containment measures in the euro area under the three alternative scenarios (see Chart A).
  • Chart A Time profile of indicative losses in gross value added implied by containment measures in the euro area under the mild, medium and severe scenarios (percentage of maximum euro area sectoral loss)
  • Similarly to the euro area, three illustrative scenarios are also considered for global real GDP excluding the euro area and euro area implied foreign demand of goods and services (see Chart B).
  • As a result of the high procyclicality of global trade with respect to global activity, euro area foreign demand would fall by around 7%, 11% and 19% under the mild, medium and severe scenarios, respectively, in 2020.
  • Chart B Euro area foreign demand under the mild, medium and severe scenarios (index, 2019 Q4 = 100)
  • Euro area real GDP is expected to drop sharply in the short term, while effective containment measures would be crucial to ensuring a robust recovery thereafter.
  • The scenario analysis used in this box points towards an unprecedented contraction in economic activity, with real GDP plummeting by around 5%, 8% and 12% under the mild, medium and severe scenarios, respectively, in 2020 (see Chart C).
  • As containment measures allow for a gradual normalisation of economic activity, real GDP is expected to increase by around 6%, 5% and 4% under the mild, medium and severe scenarios, respectively, in 2021.
  • Chart C Euro area real GDP under the mild, medium and severe scenarios (index, 2019 Q4 = 100)
  • These illustrative scenarios abstract from a number of other relevant factors that would also influence the magnitude of the recession in the euro area.
  • The scenarios are built on the assumed containment by economic policy measures of prospective negative real-financial feedback loops.
  • Finally, the three scenarios take into account the fiscal measures that have recently been announced by euro area countries.
