A focused newsletter on the European economy in data, for people who read the releases, not the takes

Weekly

Every week: the official European data released that week, inflation to unemployment to trade, with the actual numbers against the forecast, what moved them, and one chart that makes a trend clear. For someone who reads the release itself, not somebody's take on it.

Not opinion pieces about what policy should do next, not market reaction commentary unrelated to the data itself, not a forecast presented as if it were the actual release, not non-European economic data beyond a short comparison.

Where the news comes from: Eurostat: euro indicators, European Central Bank: press releases, Bruegel, Destatis: Federal Statistical Office of Germany, Politico Europe.

Nobody gets this one yet. It starts when you do.
