New EU economic forecast released

[Gustaf]

Very interesting that Sweden managed to decrease their debt from 42% in 2009 to a projected 32% in 2013.

...

Also, tax revenue so far this year might indicate that Austria will already be at the Maastricht-criteria of 3% deficit this year. I think it will be somewhere between 2.5-3.5% deficit, depending on how much the economy cools down in Q3 and Q4.

We basically did very little stimulating so our deficit never became very big and now we're back in surplus country again.
