Sustaining Growth in Europe: European Union Regular Economic Report

February 23, 2016-STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Growth across the European Union is gaining strength-with all regions experiencing positive growth in 2015.
Growing wages, falling unemployment, accommodative monetary policy and low commodity prices are fueling household consumption, which is underpinning this growth.

Redoubling structural reform efforts and ensuring an affordable and efficient welfare state can help sustain growth and reduce poverty.

According to the latest European Union Regular Economic Report (EU RER), the recovery in the European Union gained strength in 2015. Yet, growth-estimated at 2% in 2015-remains relatively weak in relation to the past and compared to countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
