ECB sees 'considerable decline' in euro area activity
[BERLIN] The president of the European Central Bank (ECB) Christine Lagarde said on Thursday that the novel coronavirus pandemic would lead to a "considerable decline" in economic activity in the euro area.
In an op-ed published in several European newspapers, Ms Lagarde said that as governments imposed containment measures to slow contagion, "a large part of the economy is being switched off... as a result, economic activity across the euro area will decline considerably."
