The COVID-19 outbreak constitutes a challenge for the European economy and the livelihoods of citizens.

The first priority of the Commission is the health of European citizens. Member States have already adopted or are adopting budgetary measures to increase the capacity of their health systems and provide relief to those citizens and sectors that are particularly impacted.

You may follow the actions taken by the Commission on the webpage dedicated to the coronavirus response.

To take informed decisions in response to the crisis, DG GROW is currently monitoring the evolution and economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis. To complement market intelligence already available via other sources, we are collecting information with the help of industrial associations.
