The current global economic downturn is the deepest in the post-war period. The turnaround was abrupt and pronounced, and is having a negative impact on markets for most goods and services. The turnaround in Norway had already occurred just over a year ago, but in the period to autumn last year, it appeared that capacity utilization in the Norwegian economy would gradually decrease to a normal level. Norges Bank reduced the key policy rate by 0.5 percentage point on both October 15 and October 29, by 1.75 percentage points on December 17 and by a further 0.5 percentage point to 2.5% on February 4. Norges Bank has also stepped up its supply of liquidity to banks in the form of short-term and long-term loans. The operational target of monetary policy in Norway is low and stable inflation ...

BRUSSELS, Jan. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) (LEI) for the Euro Area increased 0.8 percent in November to 107.3 (2004 = 100), following a 0.6 percent increase in November and a 0.2 percent increase in October. Said Jean-Claude Manini, The Conference Board senior economist for Europe: "December brought a further increase in the Euro Area LEI, and all components rose during the latter half of 2010. But, the index remains on a slower growth path than in the prior 18 months, and current conditions, as measured by the CEI, remain very weak. Meanwhile, consumer expectations are weakening; particularly when viewed in the context of fiscal consolidation and rising inflation, this is a strong reminder that the Euro Area economy continues to face strong d...

BRUSSELS, Nov. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) (LEI) for the Euro Area increased 0.4 percent in October to 114.0 (2004 = 100), following a 0.2 percent increase in September and a 0.6 percent increase in August. Said Jean-Claude Manini, The Conference Board senior economist for Europe: "Despite a further slowing through October 2010, the LEI for the Euro Area points to a continuing recovery in economic activity through early 2011. Ongoing concerns about the impact of the unfolding financial crisis on Europe's already modest growth potential should not be overstated. The real challenge for Europe will be to balance the implementation of sustainable long-term fiscal consolidation with a need to raise the growth speed limit to a higher level.

BRUSSELS, July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) (LEI) for the Euro Area decreased 0.3 percent in June to 108.5 (2004 = 100), following a 0.1 percent decrease in May and a 0.2 percent increase in April. Said Jean-Claude Manini, The Conference Board Senior Economist for Europe: "The LEI for the Euro , its third decline in the past four months. The slowdown in the global manufacturing cycle, combined with sluggish domestic demand, continue to weigh on economic activity in the Euro Area. But economic activity should continue to slowly expand through the end of the year. The sovereign debt crisis creates another potential headwind for the Euro Area economy, which could increase volatility in growth performance if not resolved ...

BRUSSELS, May 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) (LEI) for the Euro Area increased 0.4 percent in April to 109.0 (2004 = 100), following a 0.5 percent decrease in March and a 0.7 percent increase in February. Said Jean-Claude Manini, The Conference Board Senior Economist for Europe: "April's increase in the LEI, following the previous month's decline, signals increased volatility and a cooling down in the pace of growth in the near term rather than a downturn in economic activity. The continuing European debt crisis and recurring uncertainty about its resolution are reminders of the fragility of the economic outlook for the Euro Area, particularly in the second half of the year.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 27, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Next month's release will incorporate annual benchmark revisions to the composite indexes. The indexes are updated throughout the year, but only for the previous six months. Data revisions that fall outside of the moving six-month window are incorporated when the benchmark revision is made and the entire histories of the indexes are recomputed. Also, effective with the January 2011 release, the history of the composite indexes will be updated to reflect the inclusion of Estonia in the Euro Area. As a result, the revised indexes and their month-over-month changes will no longer be directly comparable to those issued prior to the benchmark revision. These benchmark revisions bring the indexes up-to-date with revisions in the source data. The revisio...

BRUSSELS, Oct. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) (LEI) for the Euro Area declined by 0.7 percent in September to 105.9 (2004 = 100), following a 1.3 percent decrease in August and a 0.1 percent decrease in July. Said Jean-Claude Manini, The Conference Board Senior Economist for Europe: "The LEI for the Euro Area fell sharply in August on the back of a severe deterioration in business confidence and stock prices which continued in September. The sovereign debt crisis and the uncertainty concerning its resolution are beginning to dampen current economic activity and the immediate outlook. The prospect of a banking crisis and increased fears of recession are self- reinforcing and an economic contraction cannot be ruled out in the very near term.

BRUSSELS, March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) (LEI) for the Euro Area increased 0.9 percent in February to 108.9 (2004 = 100), following a 0.7 percent increase in January and a 0.8 percent increase in December. Said Jean-Claude Manini, The Conference Board Senior Economist for Europe: "The fourth consecutive large increase in the LEI for the Euro Area suggests that European businesses will likely benefit from the current upswing in the expansion. However, despite the rapid improvement in the leading indicators, present economic conditions are relatively weak. Retailers and consumers are likely to remain cautious as higher inflation and expected budget cuts are likely to weigh on growth during the second half of the year.
