Building growth: Country-specific recommendations 2014

The European Commission has adopted a series of economic policy recommendations to individual Member States to strengthen the recovery that began a year ago.

The recommendations are based on detailed analyses of each country's situation and provide guidance on how to boost growth, increase competitiveness and create jobs in 2014-2015.

This year, the emphasis has shifted from addressing the urgent problems caused by the crisis to strengthening the conditions for sustainable growth and employment in a post-crisis economy.
