August 21, 2013--European Central Bank council member and Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann warned in a magazine interview on Wednesday against the dangers of a country leaving the eurozone.

An exit from the euro would have grave consequences for the countries affected, as well as for everyone else," the German central bank chief warned.

IMF Working Paper-The Driving Force behind the Boom and Bust in Construction in Europe

August 21, 2013--Summary: This paper studies the factors behind pro-cyclical but widely varying construction shares (as a percent of GDP) across countries, with a strong focus on European countries. Using a dataset covering 48 countries (including advanced and emerging economies within and outside Europe) for 1990-2011, we find that country's geography, demographics, and economic conditions are the key determinants of a norm around which actual construction shares revolve in a simple AR(1) and error-correction process.

The empirical results show that in many European countries, construction shares overshoot relative to their norms before the recent global crisis, but they have fallen significantly since the crisis. Nevertheless, there is still room for further adjustment in construction shares in some countries which may weigh on economic recovery.

Eurozone escapes recession, debt crisis clouds outlook

August 15, 2013--The Eurozone, led by Germany and France, on Wednesday finally escaped an 18-month recession which tested the single currency to the limit and imperilled global growth, but the debt crisis still clouds the outlook.

The European Commission was quick to warn that tough structural reforms, including unpopular austerity policies which many argue have helped contribute to the millions of job losses, must be pursued without let-up if the recovery is to last.
