    EU economics chief says Europe is gripped by a 'double crisis' -- but
    it can avoid a recession


    Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine sparked serious fears in
    Europe that the region would enter a significant economic slowdown.

    The euro area, in the end, grew at a rate of 3.5% in 2022,
    according to the International Monetary Fund.

    "The slowing down started from the last quarter of 2022 and it is
    there, but please don't call this a recession, because I think we can
    avoid a recession, we are avoiding recession," Paolo Gentiloni, the
    European Commissioner for economic affairs, told CNBC.
