Eurozone Quarterly: Is this recovery for real?

For the eurozone economy to recover, we need to see the animal spirits reviving. Although sentiment indicators have indeed improved over the last few months, we don’t see much progress in hard data yet.

In this edition of ING's Eurozone Quarterly, we take a look at what's really going on economically and politically in the bloc's major countries; we also take a look at the housing situation.
