Past macroeconomic projection ranges

Twice a year, both ECB staff (March and September) and Eurosystem staff (June and December) publish macroeconomic projections for the euro area. The ranges indicate the projected average annual percentage changes. The projections are a key element in sharpening the assessment of macroeconomic developments.

This page presents all projections since 2000.
