4 IPRICE AND COST COMPETITIVENESSI The format of the series "price and cost competitiveness of the euro area and the individual Member States of the European Union" has been modified. In order to improve our assessment of the competitiveness of the euro area and individual Member States, the database has been disentangled from the assessment part. This allows for a timely presentation of the Database on price and cost competitiveness for the euro area, for each Member State, as well as for five other industrial countries (United States, Japan, Norway, Australia, and Canada 1 ). The second component offers an analytical rather than a purely descriptive assessment of the main features of the euro area and the individual member States' price and cost competitiveness. This assessment will be made twice a year, while the quarterly update of the database is maintained. The nominal effective exchange rate (NEER) of a country (or currency area) aims to track changes in the value of that country's currency relative to the currencies of its principal trading partners. It is calculated as a weighted average of the bilateral exchange rates with those currencies. Changes in cost and price competitiveness depend not only on exchange rate movements but also on cost and price trends. The real effective exchange rate (REER) aims to assess a country (or currency area's) price or cost competitiveness relative to its principal competitors in international markets. It corresponds to the NEER deflated by selected relative price or cost deflators. Countries in the euro area share a single currency and there is no longer any exchange rate between them. For these countries, the terms "nominal effective exchange rate" and "real effective exchange rate" have been replaced by the terms "trade-weighted currency index" and "relative price and cost indicators" but the underlying concepts and their calculation remains the same. The tradeweighted currency indices for individual countries using the euro may diverge because they have different trading patterns. In addition, the relative price and cost indicators may evolve differently due to diverging price and cost trends. A comprehensive assessment of developments in cost and price competitiveness should ideally draw on various measures of the real effective exchange rate. Most international trade is in manufactured goods and some widely used measures focus on unit labour costs in the manufacturing industry (). However, in-house labour costs account for only a limited share of total costs in the manufacturing industry. The sector purchases a growing amount of inputs from the rest of the economy, including financial services, marketing, accounting etc. In addition, an increasing amount of services are traded internationally. Therefore, some prefer to consider developments based on unit labour costs in the whole economy (). Moreover, capital costs account for a sizeable fraction of total costs. Price measures such as the GDP-deflator () include the return on capital. On the other hand, the measures based on and cover many sectors whose output is neither directly nor indirectly traded. The report also displays real exchange rates based on the deflator of private consumption, and the deflator of exports of goods and services (). This series is also available on the Internet. Our Web sitel permits the downloading of standard statistics to your PC or Macintosh. Moreover, differently defined nominal and real exchange rates are available upon request.

8 DEVELOPMENTS IN THE COST COMPETITIVENESS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN MAIN FEATURES The euro against major international currencies: Pursuing its appreciating trend over the fourth quarter, the euro gained on average 4% against the US dollar, 5% against the Japanese yen, 2% against the pound sterling and remained stable against the Swiss franc. All in all, the nominal effective exchange rate of the euro against the currencies of 12 industrialised countries appreciated by about 2 Yz% during the fourth quarter of 20. However, in December, it still stood about 4% below its inception-level (monthly data). Over the fourth quarter, the dollar, the pound sterling and the Japanese yen depreciated in effective terms by 1 Yz%, Yz% and about 3% respectively. Relative cost and price indicators: international developments The appreciation of the euro exchange rate led to a deterioration of the cost competitiveness (based on ) of euro area producers (against 12 industrialised countries) of about 1% in the fourth quarter of 20. Cost competitiveness of the euro area producers deteriorated by 7% compared to one year ago but is still (9Yz%) above its longterm average. Despite its depreciation against the euro, the real effective exchange rate of the US dollar has been relatively stable over the fourth quarter. However, earlier depreciation led to a gain of 6% in terms of cost competitiveness over the year. Nevertheless, the real effective exchange rate of the US dollar is still 11% above its long-term average. The larger depreciation of the yen, notably against the euro, induced an improvement of 4% of the Japanese cost competitiveness over the last quarter. Consequently, the Japanese cost competitiveness is some 15% above its historical average. Relative cost and price indicators: intra-emu developments Over the last two years, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal saw a deterioration in cost competitiveness relative to EMU partners. In these countries, cost and price pressures are related to inter alia their strong cyclical position. In contrast, moderate wage increases or weaker cyclical positions led to an improvement in intra-emu cost competitiveness in France, Germany and Austria. In a longer term perspective, intra-emu cost competitiveness is better than its 17- average in France and Austria and considerably better in Finland, but this large deviation is related to the economic shocks that occurred in the early s, including the collapse of trade with the former Soviet Union. The current position in Portugal, Greece, Spain and the Netherlands is considerably worse than their long-term average, partly due to a catching-up process. Relative cost and price indicators: Member States outside the euro area Despite the small improvement against the euro area over the last year, the Danish price and cost competitiveness is still down compared to its 17- average, partly due to less moderate wages. Although Sweden experienced a small deterioration of price and cost competitiveness over the last year, it is still in a favourable position as it stands some 10% above its historical level. Despite an improvement over the last two years, manufacturing cost competitiveness in the UK remains about 28% below its 17- average relative to the euro area.

13 II. DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION Within the euro area, diverging movements in costs and prices may change the relative cost competitiveness positions of euro area Member States. Table 5 and Chart 10 show three measures of the real effective exchange rate of individual Member States against EUR12. The different measures do not always give a uniform picture of the movement over time in the real effective exchange rate of a given country against its partners and, as such, the indicators of cost and price competitiveness need to be interpreted carefully. In some cases, deviating price and cost trends among euro area Member States could lead to a build-up of competitive imbalances which might ultimately hamper economic growth and cause unemployment in individual Member States. In other cases, however, longer-term changes in relative prices and costs may be justified by changes in economic fundamentals related e.g. to a catching-up in the level of economic development, changes in non-price competitiveness factors, or changes in underlying savings and investment patterns. Moreover, differences in cyclical positions may cause movements in relative costs and prices in the short term. An indepth assessment of movements in real exchange rates therefore requires a comprehensive analysis of the economic situation in each country seen in a longer term perspective. This report merely provides a descriptive overview of movements in intra-euro area cost and price competitiveness indicators.

A minus means an improvement in cost competitiveness. 6

18 PART 2: TABLES AND GRAPHS BY COUNTRY The tables and graphs on Pages 1 to 40 present nominal and real effective exchange rates of the currencies of the European Union Member States and five other industrial countries. Aggregate measures for the European Union as a whole (EU) and the group of countries participating in the Economic and Monetary Union (EUR12) are presented as well. Each country (or country group) is compared with 24 industrial countries (the 15 EU countries, Norway, Australia, Canada, Japan, the United States, Mexico, New Zealand, Turkey and Switzerland), with the European Union and with the euro area. The tables on Pages 41 to 51 present bilateral exchange rates of the US dollar against the currencies of the 24 industrial countries; and nominal and real effective exchange rates of the EU currencies, the US dollar and Japanese yen (as well as aggregate measures for EU and EUR12). Each cross-national table of real effective exchange rates is based on a single price or cost deflator. Price and cost indices in national currency are presented as well. These tables aim to facilitate a comparison of developments in the different industrial countries. The final table shows the latest double export weight matrices that were used to calculate effective exchange rates. 1 The technical annex provides further details.
