Euro Zone Economy Slowdown Sharper Than Expected In May

[pinto + 293]

Euro zone economic growth slowed much more sharply than expected this month, a business survey showed, which along with weaker inflation suggests a stiffer policy challenge for the European Central Bank ahead. While the expansion still remained relatively strong, growth slowed in both of the bloc’s two biggest economies, Germany and France. Forward-looking indicators also deteriorated, suggesting no imminent bounce-back. It seems to me that a negative trend is present everywhere... not just in EU

A sign of things to come. We quickly forget about images like this

That looks precariously steep.

But European economies are already developed, so it's not sign for alarm. The same goes for U.S. and other developed countries. For developing nations the expectation is much higher.

Actually the situation isn't so good, but  it's not as bad as some think. Creating a fear factor among common people it'll up very soon.
