The first years (until the Great Crisis) Average annual GDP growth rate (%), 1999–2008:

The first years (until the Great Crisis) Asymmetries: some evidence of decrease:

Stage two: the public debt crisis in the Eurozone However negative growth and large budget deficits have led to a fast increase in public debts: ­financial crisis has led governments to run budget deficits; ­deficits have led financial markets to worry about the sustainability of public finances. Greece: ­late 2007: public debt at 105% of GDP; ­late 2009: public debt at 127% of GDP; ­early 2010: Greek government in desperate situation; ­May 2010: IMF–EU–ECB (called Troika) rescue operation and creation of European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF); ­2011: new package from the Troika.

Stage two: the public debt crisis in the Eurozone Bailout of Greece in May 2010 was motivated as a way to avoid highly dangerous contagious effects but this goal proved elusive: ­Ireland received a loan in November 2010; ­Portugal followed suit with a loan in May Contagion within the Eurozone is highly troubling since public indebtedness is not enough to explain why these countries, and not others, have faced the wrath of the financial markets. Possible explanations: ­membership of a monetary union may be a weakness (national central banks cannot help government); ­EFSF spread contagion, instead of preventing it, by signaling willingness to bail out countries subject to market pressure.
