For many years now, southern Europe’s economies have always been looked down upon by northern Europe’s. But the post-pandemic boom appears to have changed the future outlook for the southern countries; so, in this video, we’re going to take a look at the history of their performance, and whether this momentum is going to last.

Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we’re taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it’s pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.

It's almost like the whole austerity thing was complete bs that stagnated our economies and forced millions of Southern Europeans to leave their countries in search of a job northwards. This said, gdp is not a good indicator, as the average person in any of these countries still struggles to find a job that pays decently. The rich are just becoming richer.

@Vindex80
April 16, 2024 at 7:36 am
They are (overall) economies dependent on services and tourism, low added value industries requiring mostly unqualified workers thus sensible to economic crisis due to the little complexity replacing new, unskilled workers and with longer duration periods of crisis therefore.
This said, the last 2020 crisis and the restrictions to travel hurt these economies harder than their northern counterparts and this "growth" you are talking about is just the "rebound" of the pre pandemic levels, years behind northern economies.
This is an allegory of a cycling race where cyclists behind are faster on flat ground than the cyclists slowly climbing the mountain slowly ahead.
On top of that, all this "growth" is sustained on public debt while it lasts.
Sheer decadence of Europe.

It's not surprising. Southern Europe was disproportionately hurt by, for them, a contractionary monetary policy designed to cater for Germany's economy more than theirs. The recent inflation has, for Southern Europe, meant a reasonable monetary policy which has allowed them to actually approach full employment.

The EU is also about creating living conditions that are as equal as possible. So far it has only been possible in some areas such as affordable healthcare. But explain why was the UK shown in the graphic? It neither has the euro nor is it a member of the EU.

North Italy is an economic and scientific powerhouse, always has been, but it’s overshadowed by the south which is so appallingly inefficient the whole is dragged down.

How can you leave out the fact that Italy's growth is due to the government's crazy spending and huge increases in debt.

It seems like it would be a good thing to have countries who are doing well economically are able to help balance those that are having a slow year or two. Those countries can do the same to help when their economies are doing well again and the others have slowed. Just as long as there aren't any countries who never add to the system and always take.

Fails to mention that this '' GDP growth'' exists thanks to inflation.

Data – Information – Knowledge – Wisdom. . . no wisdom and the knowledge shows a keen lack of economic education.

I see all the Portuguesers complaining, but don't you guys have government mandated paid holidays?
Okay done trolling. I understand the sentiment of the video is biased and doesn't affect living standards.

The real issue is the building of wealth. Corporate real estate purchases of single family homes have forced entire populations into becoming permanent renters in many countries. It’s a global issue. No rise in wages will replace the stability of housing. Corporations price gouging while receiving millions in subsidies. Parasitic dynamic of these monopolized industries to the consumers they rely on. This is techno feudalism. 🫴

The GDP is a bad metric, specially with Southern Europe. Our GDP is inflated by our huge debt, and the productivity of our economies has not grown since the 1990's. If you compare the median salaries adjusted to purchasing power, you would see that we are in a much worse situation than Northern Europe.

People saying that the graphs show it's going but it doesn't mean life is better, yes that is true, however just because you have it bad but the graph goes up, it doesn't mean the other countries have it any better with the graph not going up. It's easier for an economy to start doing better when they aren't that "developed", compared to those who were already enjoying good growth etc etc. Those countries get hit harder and have it harder to recoup. No one has it easy.

In Spain these GDP figures are inflated due to a huge debt growth and lackluster growth compared to what was before the pandemic. If we look at before 2020 we have barely even grown, and are losing international relevance each day. Also, the wealth is not really reaching the masses, with higher costs of living and a housing crisis, and a government that seems to hate the middle class and small entrepreneurs.

As a Spaniard I can tell you that this growth isnt being percieved by its citizens and all is getting more and more decadent, the government is still wasing a lot of money and increasing the taxes more and more meanwhile they make up the statistics such as the unemployment one. So we don't really know whats the real state of the economy, sounds like something that a totalitarian state would do . I am disappointed on how things are going here and planning to move as soon as i can…
