Eurostat has released the European Statistical Monitor, a dashboard with short-term indicators covering different areas, such as economy, environment, business, health and work.
This monthly updated dashboard is designed to track developments within the EU as a whole and its members, as well as the EFTA countries, providing a holistic overview of key developments. It focuses on monthly and quarterly indicators, ensuring up-to-date insights and includes a commentary, focusing on recent changes and trends.
The EU economy remains on a moderate growth path, alongside rising greenhouse gas emissions and improving economic sentiment
The EU economy continued its moderate expansion, with GDP growing at a similar rate over the last two years. Meanwhile, greenhouse gas emissions and the concentration of air pollutants in EU capitals both increased. Monthly electricity consumption also rose, alongside a drop in the share of electricity generated from renewable sources. Economic sentiment increased markedly, reaching its highest level since June 2022. However, industrial production, retail trade, and production in services all declined month-to-month, and both business bankruptcies and new business registrations rose.
You can read the full analysis by opening the Eurostat commentary linked in the dashboard’s header.
The European Statistical Monitor is updated every month with the latest available data for each indicator.
