The stage is set for a gradual expansion of economic activity after a challenging 2023, better-than-expected growth in early 2024 and the ongoing decline in inflation. Private consumption is supported by declining inflation, recovering purchasing power and continued employment growth. Our forecast remains subject to high uncertainty and – with two wars continuing to rage not far from home – downside risks have increased.

More than 1 in 2 people are considered at risk of depression across the EU. Mental distress also comes at a high financial cost – representing no less than 4% of GDP. This European Mental Health Week, we announced the following new commitments to promote mental health: 🔸 €11 million from EU4Health to identify gaps and build capacity with WHO/Europe, 🔸 a €9 million EU-PROMENS project for multidisciplinary training for healthcare professionals, 🔸 a further €10 million to support the mental health of vulnerable groups, such as children and refugees. These initiatives add to our comprehensive approach to mental health which is already investing €1.23 billion into 20 flagship initiatives. Because there is no health without mental health. #HealthUnion #MentalHealthWeek

On 1 May 2004 the people of Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia became citizens of the EU. In the past #20YearsTogether, both the EU and the newly joined countries witnessed growth and prosperity. Thanks to EU investments and funds, modern infrastructure and connections have been built across all EU countries. From the reconstruction of Eleftheria square in Cyprus to establishing an Oncology centre offering advanced diagnostics and treatment in Malta – plenty of EU funded projects have helped the economies of these countries grow, contributing to the wellbeing and prosperity of its citizens. Today we are stronger together and each country is better off thanks to EU membership. Can you spot your country’s success story?
