The global expansion goes on slower than expected except in the US (and Mexico)

The likelihood of the risk scenario increases due to geopolitical risks and the lower traction of support policies

Volatility, extremely low until now, has increased a bit, quickly over a very short period. Warrants monitoring

Economic rebalancing from investment to consumption will continue, but slowly

Policies will need to support economic activity:

• Expected easing in monetary policy (RRR

cuts or liquidity injection)

• More balanced fiscal policy (expansionary at the central gov. level; consolidation at the local level)

• Push forward structural reforms.

Europe Outlook, November 2014

What’s new in Europe

1) Incoming data: some downside risks materialized, both external (geopolitical) and idiosyncratic

Page 13

2) External environment: Ukraine crisis weighs on confidence and, therefore, on investment (Germany), and on exports, to a lesser extent

3) Credit: more evidence of a demand issue in the current situation, more than a supply one

5) Exchange rate: Euro depreciation after the ECB’s new measures and is projected to continue over the medium term and support growth

6) Monetary policy: higher likelihood of QE

4) France and Italy: deterioration in confidence; some progress in the reform agenda, but slower than expected

7) Fiscal policy: open debate about French, Italian and German deficits and investment in infrastructures. Less restrictive stance.

Higher correlation between credit flows and loan demand than with credit supply.

In 2008 and 2012, supply factors could explain a larger fall in credit to private sector.

Currently, limit evidence on supply constraints

Europe Outlook, November 2014

4) Italy / France: Lower growth momentum linked to internal issues

• GDP contracted in 2Q14 (-0,2% QoQ) and weak data for 3Q14

• The electoral and institutional reforms broadly on track (to be completed by February)

• Labour market reform launched (flexible dismissal), but details to be adopted throughout 2015

• Spending review delayed

• Growing internal impatience for the slowness of reforms

• Reduction of corporate and labour taxes to regain competitiveness

• € 50bn spending cut expected in 3 years (2.5% of GDP), but still to be detailed

• Launch of reforms in retail opening hours and professional services (December 2015)

• Deteriorated political landscape despite the government reshuffling.

The euro depreciation is due to: (a) Increasing cyclical divergence with US

6) ECB: how to increase significantly its balance sheet? Running out of options

• Disappointing liquidity take up in September (€ 82.6bn). We

have to wait to December (higher demand expected).

• Next quarterly auctions will be correlated with credit (eg

growth)

• Difficult to quantify the volume and impact (particularly the

ABS program for the lack of details, such as the purchasing

conditions of the tranches with the higher risk)

TLTRO (4 years since

Sept 2014)

ABS and CB (2 years since

Q414, no target)

• More likely given recent data (activity and inflation

expectations), and difficulties to significantly expand the

balance with other measures.

• German opposition

• Details of the ABSPP and CBPP: • It did not announce a target size for the

private asset buying programmes • The programmes will last for at least two

years and they will commence in the fourth quarter of 2014

• Pending eligibility criteria for guaranteed mezzanine tranches

• The door remains open for (full scale) QE.

• Draghi said that: the ECB's balance sheet was just an instrument to achieve its inflation mandate.

• Recent comments continue to show discrepancies with the GC on next steps to be taken (full-scale QE)

• We believe that the ECB´s commitment to increase significantly its balance sheet is credible, but current measures will not be enough. Consequently, a full-scale QE (i.e, purchase of government bonds) will be needed to fill the gap.

• The probability of QE has risen slightly above 50% in our baseline scenario.

• We postpone the ECB´s first rate hike to June 2017

GDP forecast by country (%) Sources: Eurostat and BBVA Research

By country: downward revisions in the three largest countries

• Germany continues to lead the recovery but

with downward revision

• France doesn’t gain momentum yet

• Recently, positive measures have been

adopted to regain competitiveness and

reduce public spending

• Italy: still in recession in 2014

• Extensive reform plans, that need to be

materialized
