Eurostat confirms preliminary data showing Eurozone economic growth unchanged from the previous quarter at 0.4%.
Eurozone GDP growth remained at 0.4% quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter, matching flash estimates released earlier. The figure reflects stable economic activity across the 20-nation bloc, unchanged from the first quarter’s revised 0.4% expansion.
The reading aligns with consensus forecasts and marks a slight slowdown from the 0.5% growth recorded in the same period last year. Analysts had anticipated a modest uptick, but persistent inflation and weak external demand weighed on momentum.
The data is unlikely to shift near-term monetary policy expectations, as the European Central Bank remains focused on inflation trends rather than growth.
