Today’s blustery global economy has everyone on edge as inflation has wreaked havoc on the wallets of ordinary people and energy prices continue to soar worldwide. According to Credit Suisse, “the worst is yet to come,” as the global investment bank’s analysts believe the European Union (EU) and the U.K. are already dealing with a recession. S&P Global has a similar hypothesis as a report published by the Manhattan corporation explains that the U.K. is currently contending with a full-year recession.

Credit Suisse and S&P Global Reports Note Europe and the UK Are Already Dealing With a Recession — ‘Europe Faces a Difficult and Uncertain Geopolitical and Economic Outlook’
Amid the heightened tension, a Credit Suisse 報告 says the U.K. and Europe are already in a recession and the U.S. is “flirting” with one. The global investment bank’s analyst explained that some of the weight stemmed from central banks raising interest rates. “Higher rates combined with ongoing shocks lead us to cut GDP forecasts,” the Credit Suisse report details. “The euro area and the U.K. are in recession, China is in a growth recession, and the U.S. is flirting with recession.”
The Credit Suisse report adds:
Crucially, the rising share of price categories above central bank inflation target levels shows inflation is broadening out from a limited group of supply shock related drivers to more general inflation. This broadening requires tighter policy and weaker economies because it increasingly reflects tight labor markets.
The report from Credit Suisse follows the recent statements Citadel CEO Ken Griffin made last Wednesday at a conference. Griffin 説明した that Citadel is “very focused on the possibility of a recession.” Further, analysts in a report published by S&P Global explain that the U.K. and Europe are already in a recession and the Ukraine-Russia war is exacerbating the region’s gloomy economy. S&P Global’s regional credit conditions chairman, Paul Watters, says the EU has a tough winter ahead, and the European economy faces heightened credit risks.
Watters believes the EU’s measures to put price caps on energy will protect Europeans this winter from the inflationary pressures. “Fiscal support measures deployed by the government, notably the upper limit set on typical household energy bills, will significantly protect household budgets from an even greater inflation squeeze over the winter,” Watters claims. “This, along with ongoing resilience of the labor market, are the main reasons we do not expect the U.K. economy to perform worse.”
S&P Global’s report continues:
Europe faces a difficult and uncertain geopolitical and economic outlook as Russia’s political risk appetite appears to increase after losses of territory in Ukraine, and exorbitant energy prices fuel inflation, triggering interventions to support consumers and businesses, with central banks recalibrating interest levels in quick order.
