Euro celebrates its 20th birthday

December 31, 2018--The euro, Europe's common currency, turns 20 on 1 January 2019. Exactly 20 years ago, on 1 January 1999, 11 EU countries launched a common currency, the euro, and introduced a shared monetary policy under the European Central Bank.

The historic moment was a milestone on a journey driven by the ambition of ensuring stability and prosperity in Europe. Today, still young, the euro is already the currency of 340 million Europeans in 19 Member States. It has brought tangible benefits to European households, businesses and governments alike: stable prices, lower transaction costs, protected savings, more transparent and competitive markets, and increased trade. Some 60 countries around the world link their currencies to the euro in one way or another, and we can and are doing more to let the euro play its full role on the international scene. Other EU Member States are expected to join the euro area once the criteria are met.

Russia's Potential to Double its Potential Growth

December 19, 2018-In our latest semi-annual Russia Economic Report, we project growth prospects for 2018-2020 to remain modest, forecast at 1.5% to 1.8%. But annual growth rates can be misleading, as they do not reveal whether the economy is growing due to a temporary increase in demand, for example, from an increase in oil prices, or due to the productive use of fundamental factors such as labor and capital.

To differentiate between these two types of growth, economists measure "potential growth". Potential growth is the rate at which an economy can grow when all factors of production are fully utilized. Thus, in any given year, actual growth rates may be above or below the potential growth rate, depending on cyclical factors (such as changes in oil prices or short-term fiscal or monetary stimuli).
