The Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA) recently released an informative Infographic entitled “The European Union’s Response to the Euro Crisis”. It provides and overview of many of the EU’s actions taken to date to tackle the crisis and provides an overview of some policies still under discussion e.g the Fiscal compact.
The infographic is fairly comprehensive in its presentation of data, which rather detracts from any narrative regarding the response to the crisis. Nevertheless, it represents a smorgasbord of policy actions, rules and ideas implemented over the last few years.
Mint.com has a new infographic on how the debt of major European countries has evolved from 2000 to 2010. It makes for sobering reading given the bailouts of Greece, Ireland and Portugal. It highlights the large and growing sovereign debts as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product. (source Eurostat)
