Which date are these figures from?

I have just updated the entire "Target dates" for euro adoption, and the "criteria table" with economic stats. Titles and footnotes now clearly explain the year for the data, and how the reference values and evaluation process works. The old version of the table showed the criteria and values for Fiscal Year 2011, and the evaluation of criteria compliance as of 30 March 2012. As these data and the evaluation results have been well-known for a while, it was however more interesting to let the table show a forecasted outlook for the next evaluation as of 30 March 2013. Forecasted values for HICP inflation, deficit and debt were all easy to extract from the EC Spring Economic Forecast, and will be fast to extract and update again, when the EC Autumn Economic Forecast report gets published in November 2012. In regards of the average values for "Annual long term interest rates", the ECB source also publish numbers on a monthly basis (easy to extract and add). So it is relatively easy now to update the table with new figures, and thus follow if the outlook turns in a red or green direction halfways through (by November 2012). Just be careful to read and understand all the hidden notes. Danish Expert (talk) 21:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In order to keep the yearly assement data in some nicely saved templates, one of us should around October 2013 copy-edit the final data from this template, and save it in a new template named: Template:Euro convergence criteria (April 2013); to be displayed at the Euro convergence criteria article. Based on the experience with how the forecasted data developed in 2012, I have to admit there will be no point to create a new "forecasted convergence table" for next year, before we at least have the November 2013 forecast report published. Because the HICP values and identification of the 3 lowest scoring countries for a reference year, is basicly only possible to do with a reasonable amount of certainty, at the point of time where we are halfways through the reference year. So we have to wait until the European Commission in November 2013 will publish both the recorded stats for Q2-2013 and Q3-2013, and the forecasted data for the remaing two quarters Q4-2013 and Q1-2014. :-) Danish Expert (talk) 14:00, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
