Europe has made important progress in harnessing and reinforcing its policies and institutions to recover from a double-dip recession and improve crisis management. Very supportive monetary policy has helped growth to pick up gradually over the past three years, and contributed to reduce tensions in sovereign debt markets. The effect of fiscal policy on demand has turned broadly neutral. Important building blocks of banking union, on both supervision and resolution fronts, have come into operation, improving the resilience of the European financial system. Confidence in the European project has recovered from its lows in 2013, although it is still well below what it was before the crisis.
