Cyclical coincident indicator of the euro area economy (€-coin)

€-coin is a cyclical coincident indicator of euro-area economic activity that is updated in real time and released monthly. As such, it offers a monthly and timely estimate of the current state of the economy, free of short-term fluctuations.

The indicator draws on a large number of economic variables (industrial production, business surveys, stock market and financial data, demand indicators, and more) and extracts the information needed for forecasting medium- to long-term GDP growth.

It is published in collaboration with the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR).

€-coin falls slightly in January

  • €-coin fell slightly to 0.49 in January (from 0.52 in December), but the ongoing phase of cyclical expansion within the euro area is confirmed.
  • The performance of the indicator reflects a softening of positive signals in the service sector, as reported by qualitative surveys.
