Growth is expected to improve only slightly in 2015, but more robustly in 2016. Exports will continue to be weakened by the severe recession in Russia, but this will be partly offset by the recovery in the euro area. Private consumption will remain strong, supported by further increases in household disposal income. However, the pick-up in investment will be delayed due to the regional geopolitical tensions and the resulting high level of uncertainty.
