According to the agency, the risk of a recession in the eurozone is the highest since November 2020 - energy shortages threaten to further increase record inflation.
In February, experts estimated the probability of a recession at 20%, in July - already at 45%.
Eurozone inflation is also expected to be around 8% in 2022.
Earlier, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that the lifting of sanctions imposed by Western countries on Russia would lead to a decrease in world prices for energy resources and food.
According to Brahma Chellani, a professor of strategic studies at the Center for Political Analysis in New Delhi, Western countries have increasingly begun to recognize that anti-Russian sanctions are causing significant damage to their economies, while not having a significant impact on Moscow.
At the same time, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin warned that attempts by Western countries to unleash a spiral of unilateral sanctions against Russia would lead to a global recession.
