On 8 March 2006, the European Economic Advisory Group at CESifo presented its fifth report: ”Report on the European Economy 2006” at a press conference in Brussels and at press conferences in major European cities. (List of press conferences)
In addition to providing an executive summary and a European economic forecast, the Group again addresses several important policy issues, which all gather around growth as the central topic. The report analyses the growth performance of different European countries, focusing on two key driving factors, namely education and competition policy. Special attention is given to the aspect of global imbalances and their inherent risks for the global economy. Fiscal and monetary policies European policymakers can draw on to minimise these risks are discussed.
