| In relation to the Eurozone, the 'periphery' is a collective name for the five countries in the Eurozone with relatively weaker economies:
| |
| | |
| Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain.
| |
| | |
| | |
| These five countries are sometimes known as 'PIIGS', from the initial letters of their names, or 'SWEAP' (South and West Euro Area Periphery).

| :"The eurozone periphery, except for Ireland, remains depressed relative to the core countries. Spain and Portugal are recovering at a glacial pace, but Italy remains mired in a decade-long recession. In Greece, domestic demand is cripplingly low...

| | |
| :Meanwhile, Germany and the Netherlands have ballooning trade surpluses.
| |
| | |
| :The imbalances that caused the eurozone crisis have not gone away."
