État de sidération, c'est ce qu'ont produit les annonces de droits de douane par D. Trump à l'occasion du "Liberation Day". Tout d'abord, parce que les tarifs douaniers censés, selon D. Trump, vampiriser l'économie américaine laissent perplexes. Ensuite, parce que les droits de douane annoncés (dont les droits réciproques étrangement calculés) excèdent ce qui avait été anticipé et sont susceptibles d...

Stupefaction was the reaction to Donald Trump's “Liberation Day” tariff announcements. Firstly, because the tariffs – which Trump claims are sucking the life out of the US economy – are perplexing when compared with those applied. Secondly, because the tariffs announced (including the strangely calculated reciprocal tariffs) exceed what had been anticipated and are likely to be further tightened. Finally...

Au niveau des valeurs vénales prime, l’assouplissement de la politique monétaire de la BCE a globalement eu un effet favorable, en ayant tendance à faire baisser les taux de capitalisation de l’immobilier commercial prime. Ainsi, après plusieurs années de fortes baisses, les valeurs vénales prime n’ont que légèrement diminuer pour les commerces, se sont stabilisées pour les entrepôts, et ont nettement...

Economic activity in France quickened in Q3 2024, with quarterly growth coming in at 0.4%, compared with 0.2% in Q1 and Q2. This uptick is explained by the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, estimated to have added 0.2 percentage points to Q3 growth. At the end of Q3, carry-over growth for 2024 was 1.1%. 

The economy is not expected to have grown at all in Q4 2024 due to the boost from the Paris...

The downward revision of our forecasts for the German economy is in line with the preliminary estimate of a 0.2% contraction in GDP in 2024. Activity in the first three quarters of 2024 was supported in particular by public consumption, despite limited budgetary resources. Household consumption, on the other hand, weighed on growth. Households switched to savings because of low consumer confidence in a...

Facing the relative slowdown in the US economy, growth in the Eurozone accelerated slightly over the summer, although still at a much lower rate than in the United States (0.9% year-on-year).

The upturn in household consumption seen over the summer bodes well for slightly stronger growth next year. The latest information on investment does not plead in favour of a marked acceleration. We have revised our...

The UK economy is on course to slow sharply in H2-24. Real GDP was stable in Q3 against our expectation for an increase (0.3% QoQ) after 0.4% QoQ in Q2. Business surveys deteriorated during Q4. Furthermore, financial conditions have tightened since the Autumn Budget 2024 and quite meaningfully so since the beginning 2025: gilt yields have risen sharply (around 60bp since October) and sterling has...

The Spanish economy managed to maintain a robust growth rate until Q3 2024 despite multiple headwinds, including weakness in the eurozone economies, persistently high inflation and the impact of past interest rate hikes. Behind this good performance are several key factors, including the solid performance of the labour market, continued high immigration and positive international tourism data, which once...

Au troisième trimestre 2024, la correction du marché immobilier résidentiel en France, déclenchée par la hausse des taux longs à partir de fin 2021, semble aujourd'hui enrayée. Alors que les taux d'intérêt des prêts à l'habitat ont atteint en décembre 2023 un plus haut depuis octobre 2012, leur légère baisse a conduit à une reprise modérée de la production de crédits à l'habitat depuis le milieu de l...
