Introduction

The economic landscapes of Europe and the United States present contrasting narratives for investors. The consensus view of “U.S. exceptionalism” leading global economic growth is well entrenched. In contrast, Europe is set for a year of sub-par growth, with projections under 1%, reflecting structural challenges and global trade dynamics. The region faces a pivotal year. But can opportunity beckon in trying times?
