Nintex, growth in Europe is slow and Germany declined but yearly growth for the whole market is still going to be 1.4% in 2019 (and 1.9% in 2020 - an increase). That is not a recession, or "close to a recession", that has been the normal in Europe for many years. If you are actually worried about a recession maybe you should stop casually boosting Trump and Boris Johnson who are the biggest threats to global growth in the next year.
