The European Central Bank significantly raised its 2021 and 2022 economic growth outlook on Thursday, as virus curbs ease and the eurozone recovery gathers pace. The eurozone economy is now expected to grow by 4.6 percent this year and 4.7 percent in 2022, up from earlier projections of 4.0 and 4.1 percent respectively. The forecast for 2023 remained unchanged at 2.1 percent growth, ECB chief Christine Lagarde said. mfp/hmn/lth
