Executive Summary
The defeat of Viktor Orbán's government in Hungary is expected to unblock key EU initiatives, including a €90 billion aid package for Ukraine and new sanctions against Russia, signaling a more pro-European alignment.
The EU anticipates a significant 'stagflationary shock' from the war in Iran, projecting a 0.2-0.6% hit to GDP and an inflation increase of over one percentage point, prompting coordinated policy responses like releasing strategic oil reserves.
The EU is pursuing a 'de-risking, not decoupling' strategy with China, sharing U.S.
concerns over trade imbalances and industrial overcapacity, and is actively using trade defense instruments like anti-subsidy tariffs on electric vehicles.
To address long-term competitiveness issues, the EU is implementing reforms inspired by the Draghi report, including a '28th regime' for simplified cross-border corporate registration and a target to reduce administrative burdens by 25%.
