This Great Graphic was spotted by a colleague Andrew Hofer. He saw it on the Nikos Tsafos' blog Greek Default Watch blog. It is a color-coded tracking of how the individual members of the euro have done in terms of GDP and its composition since 2007.
The first column shows GDP relative to 2007. Germany, third on the list, has grown a cumulative 3.6% since 2007, for example. The other columns simply subtract 2012 results from 2007 and is reported in real mlns of 2005 euros. The data comes from Eurostat
The columns represent the components of GDP (consumption, government spending, investment (capital formation), exports and imports of goods and services. Recall in GDP calculations imports subtract from GDP so a positive sign in the table is a decline in imports.
