Date: 15/06/2000 ...after the EU's statistical agency Eurostat published data showing a 3.2&percent; annualised increase in first quarter gross domestic product. European Central Bank board member Tomasso Padoa-Schioppa also predicted that euro-zone growth would be nearer 3.5&percent; in 2000-2001. Meanwhile, Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Guterres described the ECB's surprise decision last week to increase euro-zone interests rates by 0.5&percent; as unnecessary, arguing that it would not help economic growth in Europe or bolster the value of the currency. |
