The incoming European Parliament and European Commission should use the opportunity to forge a renewed consensus around strengthening the foundations of the monetary union.

Outlook and Risks
Euro area growth has slowed and inflation continues to disappoint. Growth decelerated sharply in the second half of 2018, due to a combination of slowing external demand and mostly temporary domestic factors

Norway's Economic Outlook in Seven Charts

June 12, 2019--Norway's economy has performed well over the past year, especially compared to its neighbors.
