Résumé anglais After experiencing two consecutive quarters of positive growth in 2009, it is now clear that the recession in the euro zone is technically over, even though GDP decreased by 4% on an annual basis, and even though some countries like Spain or Ireland are still lagging behind. Growth was fuelled by external trade and inventories dynamics, whereas domestic demand declined, following dull consumption features, investment cuts, and a soaring unemployment rate. Stabilization will require more time, and unemployment will remain high in 2010. Triggered by external trade and inventories, GDP will raise by 0,9% in 2010 and by 1,6% in 2011. Growth will indeed be crippled by a low rate of productive investment and a high level of unemployment. Besides, all industrialized countries will cut budgetary spending, whether in 2010 or in 2011 at the latest, thus slowing down the growth pace. JEL Classification: F01.
