- As Economic Growth Slows Greece Introduces A Public Sector Wage Freeze afoe A Fistful of Euros European Opinion;
- OECD Forecast 4.1% Eurozone Contraction For 2009 afoe A Fistful of Euros European Opinion:
"According to this Reuters report, the Slovenian Minister of European Affairs and Development Mitja Gaspari informed a news conference in Ljubljana yesterday (Thursday) that the latest OECD 2009 forecast for the eurozone is for a contraction of 4.1 percent. He also stated that the OECD figures show Germany’s economy will contract by 5.1 percent and Italy’s by 4.2 percent. While these figures are completely unofficial - official publication of the updated OECD forecast is due on March 31 - they do not seem at all unreasonable, although they are of course shocking. At think at this stage talk of a recovery in the second half of the year is completely premature, and the only real issue is whether 2010 will simply be more of the same, or will be a bit better (a eurozone contraction of say 2%)."
PS: Uma questão tem-me vindo a espicaçar a curiosidade (por diversos motivos): qual será que irá ser o comportamento (relativo) da economia portuguesa (e regional) ao longo da crise? Acompanha o comportamento médio da economia europeia; tem um comportamento mais negativo, ou menos negativo?
