Eurozone Growth Slows to 0.2% in Q4 in World Economy News 07/03/2026 The Euro Area economy grew by 0.2% in Q4 2025, below earlier estimates of 0.3% and down from 0.3% in Q3, highlighting modest momentum despite easing inflation, lower interest rates, and resilience amid headwinds from US trade tariffs on EU imports. Household consumption rose 0.4%, up from 0.2% in Q3, while growth slowed for fixed investment (0.6% vs 1.3%) and public spending (0.5% vs 0.7%). Both inventory changes and net trade subtracted 0.1 percentage points each from GDP growth. Among major economies, Spain led with 0.8% growth, driven by strong household consumption and investment, followed by the Netherlands at 0.5%. Germany and Italy each grew 0.3%, while France lagged at 0.2%. On an annual basis, Eurozone GDP expanded 1.2% in Q4, slightly below the preliminary 1.3% and down from 1.4% in Q3. For full-year 2025, growth reached 1.4%, just below earlier estimates of 1.5% but accelerating from 0.9% in 2024.
