Publications of the European Central Bank
ECB Economic Bulletin
The Economic Bulletin presents the economic and monetary information which forms the basis for the ECB Governing Council's policy decisions.
It is released eight times a year, two weeks after each monetary policy meeting. In particular, the Bulletins in March, June, September and December provide additionally, the macroeconomic projections of the ECB Eurosystem staff on inflation, growth, public finances figures and external trade. The Bank of Greece thus fulfills its obligation under Article 15.1 of the Statute of the ESCB to publish reports on the activities of the ESCB at least quarterly. The remaining issues of the Economic Bulletin appear only in English. Note that in 2015 the Monthly Bulletin was replaced by the ECB Economic Bulletin.
