Economic growth in the EU turned out to be better than expected in 2006, mainly due to brisk global growth and favourable domestic conditions. GDP growth for the EU-27 averaged 3% for the year as a whole, up from 1.8% in 2005, and is expected to grow at a similar rate in the current year. In 2006, labour markets in the EU made a robust recovery. After rather modestincreases in previous years, employment growth in the EU-27 picked up significantly in 2006 and, at 1.4%, was at its strongest since 2000. In addition, labour productivity accelerated in comparison with 2005 and grew at a slightly higher rate than in the United States, although the EU continued to underperform slightly in relation to the United States in terms of employment growth.
