This context of fragility makes not likely to think about a sustainable recovery in the value of the euro. As to the situation of the economy of the eurozone is concerned, the macroeconomic variables show a continuing deterioration. This has caused the economic confidence in the eurozone continue falling into a tailspin and its indicator is already located at 65.4 points, its lowest level since it began to be measured in 1985. The economies of the region have experienced a strong contraction of your product during the fourth quarter of 2008, but the prospects are even worse for 2009. Most of the projections anticipate a contraction of GDP for the eurozone that could exceed 2%. The weakness in external demand has been one of the determinants of the contraction of the economy in the eurozone. This weakness of the external front is reflected in the current account of the region who lost her position surplus and in 2008 closed with a deficit of 0.7% in terms of GDP. But not only the economies of the eurozone are affected by macroeconomic weakness, also are threatened by the situation which pass through the economies of Eastern Europe that can heavily influence the region.

In this negative context, hope for the euro comes from us what can be done.
