The introduction of euro-denominated notes and coins in 12 European countries from January 1st, 2002, marked another significant step in the development of the single currency area. With the removal of currency risk and the harmonisation of economic growth cycles, investment analysts, corporate planners, marketing executives and economists are increasingly viewing the world?s second largest economic region as a truly ?single market?. It has, though, until now, proven difficult to form a concise and objective opinion about prospective developments in a broad range of macroeconomic and financial variables for the euro zone as a whole.
The ?uro Zone Barometer aims to address this, and is rapidly becoming the essential tool for analysing the single currency area on a month-by-month basis, particularly in today?s uncertain economic climate. Packed with the results of a unique poll of independent economic forecasts and expert opinion, this 16-page publication is designed to supplement, rather than substitute for, existing country-specific forecasts that you may currently receive, providing a broad overview of the region.
The Euro Zone Barometer includes annual and quarterly projections from many of the leading independent economic forecasters in Europe, based on official aggregated euro zone data compiled by Eurostat and the European Central Bank, thereby giving a more accurate picture of economic activity within the region as a whole.
