摘要：Some discrepancies in the economic growth in
different regions emerged in the second quarter of
2006. While in the euro area growth accelerated
in the second quarter from the fi rst quarter (from
2.2% to 2.7%), then in the United States and Japan
it slowed down instead (from 3.7% to 3.5% and
from 3.6% to 2.5%, respectively). Industrial production
indicators in the euro area confi rmed the above
trend: the year-on-year growth reached 5.4% in
August, being the fastest in the past six years (see
Figure 1.1). Industrial production showed an upward
trend also in the United States and Japan,
posting a faster than 5% annual growth in August
and September.
