Question: The current state of the European economy: Write a couple of paragraphs about the state of the economy in the euro area over the past several years. What has happened to inflation, real GDP growth, and unemployment? What about a key policy interest rate set by the European Central Bank (ECB)? An extremely helpful resource for this exercise is the ECB's Statistical Data Warehouse, which you can find using a search engine. In answering this question, it may be helpful to copy some of the ECB's graphs.
