Today, Eurostat released the July edition of the interactive European Statistical Recovery Dashboard.
The dashboard contains monthly and quarterly indicators from a number of statistical areas relevant for tracking the economic and social recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, across countries and time.
July highlights: EU industrial production increases and excess mortality declines, but the European economy remains vulnerable to shocks in commodity markets
- EU industrial production continued to increase and production in construction bounced back, while retail trade remained stable in May 2022. The EU economy, however, remained vulnerable to shocks in commodity markets. Inflation reached a new record high level in June 2022, continuing a sharp acceleration of energy and food prices.
- As regards the EU labour market and population, in May 2022 the unemployment rate was stable, remaining below its pre-pandemic level, and the excess mortality rate fell back to the levels recorded in January-March 2022.
- EU economic sentiment fell for the fourth month in a row in June 2022, dropping further below its pre-pandemic level but still remaining above its long-term average. This decrease was due to weaker confidence among construction managers, consumers, and to a lesser extent, retail trade managers. Confidence decreased only marginally in services and remained broadly stable in industry.
