The European Commission coordinates EU countries' macroeconomic policies through the European Semester, publishes macroeconomic forecasts and constantly assesses progress towards the Europe 2020 targets.
The Commission publishes macroeconomic forecasts for the EU and its member countries three times a year, in spring (May), autumn (November) and winter (February). These forecasts are produced by the Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN).
