Updated Monday, February 12, 2024
EVENT ENDED
The Eurozone economy used to grow by around 0.6% during 2017, but the economic growth has softened since then. The economy grew by 0.4% in the first quarter of last year and it slowed further in Q2, growing by 0.3%. In Q3, the GDP was expected to grow by 0.4% again, but missed expectations and only grew by 0.2% that quarter. Q4 remained the same again. In Q1 of this year, the growth rate of the Eurozone economy was expected to tick higher to 0.3%, although the prelim Flash GDP reading for Q1 surprised us as it moved to 0.4%. The economy has slowed in Q2 and the last reading for Q2 came at 0.2%, while in Q3 it slowed further to just 0.1%, where it remained in Q4. But, with coronavirus spreading in Europe, and the shut-down, the economy was expected to have contracted by 3.7% in Q1 of 2020, but the contraction was a bit bigger at -3.8%, which was revised a tad higher to -3.6%. The GDP fell further in Q2 by 11.8%, while increasing by 12.7% in Q3, which was revised lower to 12.5% later. In Q4 restrictions returned again, so the GDP turned negative at -0.7%, while Q1 came at 0.2% which was revised up to 0.6%. Q2 GDP showed a 0.8% expansion, while Q3 the economy contracted by -0.1%. Q4 is expected at 0.0%, so a slight miss will send the Eurozone in an official recession. Please follow us for coverage of this event by experienced market analysts.
