Eurostat released the latest edition of the interactive dashboard recently.

In March 2022, industrial production and retail trade dropped but remained above their pre-pandemic levels. Inflation showed signs of a further rise, but at a slower pace, across EU member states in April this year.

EU economic sentiment fell for the second month in a row in April 2022, dropping below its pre-pandemic level. This decline was driven by worsening confidence in industry, retail trade, construction and among consumers, while the confidence indicator remained unchanged in services, EU statistical office Eurostat said in a press release.

According to a new environmental indicator in the dashboard, EU greenhouse gas emissions stood at 2.33 tonnes per capita in Q4 2021—3.6 per cent up compared with the same quarter in 2019.
