Q2 GDP Revised Higher in the Eurozone, Employment Revised Lower
The Eurozone GDP for Q2 was revised higher today
Skerdian Meta•Tuesday, September 8, 2020•1 min read
The initial GDP report from the Eurozone posted a major contraction of 12.1% during Q2, as coronavirus lockdowns had a massive negative impact everywhere, but the figure was revised higher today. Employment, on the other hand, declined by -2.8%, which was revised to -2.9% today, but Q2 is now history. Below, you can see the new GDP report from Eurostat:
Eurozone GDP Report Released by Eurostat – September 8, 2020
- Q2 final GDP QoQ -11.8% vs -12.1% second reading
- GDP YoY -14.7% vs -15.0% second reading
- Household consumption QoQ -12.4% vs -12.2% expected
- Prior household consumption -4.7%; revised to -4.5%
- Government spending QoQ -2.6% vs -2.5% expected
- Prior gov’t spending -0.4%; revised to -0.7%
- Employment Q2 -2.9%, revised down from -2.8%
The mildly higher revision is little consolation, as this just reaffirms the biggest slump in the euro area economy on record. The market is more focused on the recovery phase now, so this data release doesn’t mean too much.
