The European Commission has adopted the 2026 European Semester Autumn Package, setting out economic and employment priorities to strengthen EU competitiveness. The package calls for coordinated action to boost productivity, innovation and investment, in line with the Competitiveness Compass. It launches the 2026 cycle, improving its analytical basis, strengthening dialogue between Member States and stakeholders, and emphasizing implementation. An Autumn 2025 Economic Forecast shows a resilient EU economy with moderate growth driven by domestic demand, investment, a solid labour market and easing inflation. To address strategic vulnerabilities, the Commission introduced a new EU‑27 recommendation on human capital, urging Member States to prioritise education, STEM programmes and skills needed for clean transition, circular economy, health, agriculture and defence. A Joint Employment Report highlights robust labour markets but warns of structural weaknesses that could undermine competitiveness.
