Europe Watches Its Economic Recovery Fade Into the Distance
NYT > Business·June 8, 2026

Europe's economic recovery is fading due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, not Iran, as the conflict persists and drives up prices. The region is now facing a prolonged period of higher prices and slower growth. Economists expect this trend to continue, rather than a quick shock, as the war's impact on trade and energy supplies takes hold. Higher prices and slower growth are likely to be the new normal for Europe in the near future.
