Is Europe destined for a lost decade?

Good morning – here are your five chart for the day. Each one comes snap stat, quick take and why it matters. Skim, steal, forward (but always credit!!).

It’s an interesting set of charts. Europe stagnates, casual dining devours fast food, cocaine hits record highs and military budgets soar past $3 trillion.

CHART 1 • Europe faces stagnation as growth stalls

The eurozone risks drifting into economic stagnation despite record-low unemployment and inflation near target. Growth of just 0.8% this year reflects weak investment and rising geopolitical threats choking momentum. The IMF warns that existing barriers cost companies the equivalent of a 44% tariff on goods.

Snap stat – Eurozone growth expected at just 0.8% in 2025.

Quick take – Trade tensions and weak demand threaten Europe's economic recovery.

Why it matters – Stagnation could force painful fiscal consolidation across highly indebted member states.

Steal-this-caption – "Europe grows at 0.8% despite record-low unemployment – stagnation beckons." #FiveChartsDaily
