Risks in 2018

• Political uncertainty, predominantly in Catalonia

• Impact of rising oil prices on domestic demand and current account

• Dissipation of the reformist momentum in the face of the demographic challenge to ensure the

sustainability of the Welfare State

• Impact of the gradual reduction of ECB stimulus

• High public debt and structural deficit

• Persistence of structural unemployment

• Effects of the US protectionist policy

• Stagnation of productivity

• Moderation of growth in Europe, mainly in Germany, France and the United Kingdom

• European project conditioned by anti-European positions in Italy and Visegrad countries*

* Visegrad countries: Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
