This contribution focuses on the macroeconomic impact of the information economy and the challenges it poses for the regulatory framework of the economy. There are three basic channels via which the new information and communication technologies, the socalled ICT, affect economic growth. The first is that of technical progress in the production of ICT, the second that of capital deepening and the third that of positive spill-over effects from the use of ICT. The two first-mentioned channels are clearly operative in the euro area. Still, there is as yet no sustained higher productivity growth discernible in the euro area economy as a whole. This points to the fact that, although progress has been made with structural reforms, the regulatory framework in the euro area is still inhibiting an optimal use of the new technologies.
