The share of Eurozone citizens thinking that having the euro is a good thing hits a new peak

The yearly Eurobarometer on the euro area has just been published: 64% of Eurozone citizens say that “having the euro is a good thing for their country”. This is the highest level recorded since this survey exists. In all the eurozone countries except Austria, Latvia & Lithuania, the share of citizens saying “having the euro is a good thing” has risen. In all the countries except Lithuania, there are more people thinking that the euro is good thing than people thinking it is a bad thing. This is a particularly important development for the euro sovereign bond market.

The decline of the Eurozone partners' growth prospects partly explains the ECB's December move.

The ECB announced further easing measures in December. There were mainly two reasons for that  according to Draghi's statements: lower inflation forecasts and a lower global demand. To dig further the second point, we reconstructed series of GDP growth forecasts for Eurozone's exports destinations. We considered 23 countries (ie a bit more than the 18 considered in the ECB's effective euro), we have taken the Bloomberg GDP growth forecasts (available at a daily frequency) and we simply weighted the countries by their weight in the Eurozone's external exports. This gives the following chart, where we also represent the ECB meetings.

The support for the euro has reached a new high

Twice a year, the European commission conducts a Eubarometer survey in which it asks to citizens if they are for or against a European economic and monetary union with one single currency, the euro. The support for the euro has reached a new high in the latest Eurobarometer survey published this month: 73 % of Eurozone citizens are in favor of the euro, 22% against and 5% without opinion).
