Eurozone weekly economic briefing | Potential policy shakers this week
The week was full of events that could potentially become policy shakers. While the PMIs showed economic growth keeps cooling, energy prices continued to soar, prompting governments to find further offsetting measures to protect purchasing power.

- The EU vowed to adopt punishing measures against Poland after the
latter rejected the primacy of EU law over national legislation.
