Statement By Mario Draghi, President Of The ECB, At The Thirty-Eighth Meeting Of The International Monetary And Financial Committee, Bali (Indonesia), 12 October 2018

Date 12/10/2018

The euro area economy continues to expand in a broad-based manner, across countries and sectors, despite some moderation following its strong growth in 2017. The economy grew by 2.1% year-on-year in the second quarter of this year. It continues to exhibit a high level of capacity utilisation, and labour markets are tightening in several countries and sectors. The unemployment rate in the euro area has dropped to its lowest level since 2008, and the number of people in employment has increased by more than nine million since mid-2013. The latest economic indicators suggest that, overall, this broad-based growth in the euro area will continue.
