A joint initiative of three leading European economic institutes (Ifo Institute, INSEE and ISAE) to produce short-term forecasts for GDP, consumption, industrial production and inflation in the euro zone.
Methodological note
This quarterly publication is prepared jointly by the German Ifo Institute, the French Insee institute and the Italian Isae institute. The forecasts are produced with the help of tools shared by the three institutes, using time-series models based on business surveys by national institutes, Eurostat, and the European Commission.
Our joint two-quarter-ahead forecast covers euro-zone industrial production, GDP, consumption, investment, and inflation. Publication is timed to coincide with Eurostat’s second release of quarterly national accounts.
More in-depth economic diagnoses for each country (Germany, France, Italy) is available in:
