The Annual Growth Survey sets out priorities for action at national and EU level for the next 12 months, including for the achievement of the EU 2020 targets, which should feed into national economic and budgetary decisions, in line with the EU’s country-specific recommendations. Efforts at national and EU level should concentrate on the following five priorities: 1) pursuing differentiated growth-friendly fiscal consolidation while ensuring economic recovery and job creation; 2) ensuring long-term financing of the real economy; 3) promoting sustainable growth through more competitiveness and investments; 4) tackling unemployment and the social consequences of the crisis; 5) modernising EU public administration and services of general interest. The fight against social exclusion and poverty should remain a high priority of every policy, together with pursuing differentiated growth-friendly fiscal consolidation while ensuring economic recovery and job creation.
