EU economic statistics

Eurostat HICP annual inflation: All-items HICP annual inflation on the ECOICOP ver.2 classification, for nine EU reporting areas. Every figure is the one Eurostat published. Two geography labels are shortened so that a headline is readable — Eurostat's own label is shown on the brief itself in every case, and no code or figure is altered. Month-on-month differences are given in percentage points, never in percent, because the figures are already rates. A comparison is omitted entirely whenever Eurostat flags either month as a break in series or a change of definition. Provisional and estimated flags are carried into the wording. No explanation of why a figure moved is offered, and none should be inferred from the ordering of these pages.

Eurostat unemployment rate: Harmonised, seasonally adjusted unemployment for the total population aged 15 to 74, as a percentage of the labour force. A filter that does not match the approved definition causes the record to be held rather than quietly substituted. Two geography labels are shortened so that a headline is readable — Eurostat's own label is shown on the brief itself in every case. Month-on-month differences are given in percentage points. This measures unemployment as the Labour Force Survey defines it, which is not the same as the number of people registered as unemployed.
