This is a slight downward revision from the initial reading but it at least shows that the euro zone economy is still holding on to where it was at the end of last year. Overall for 2025, euro area GDP is seen growing by 1.4%. This follows 0.9% growth posted in 2024.
Looking at Q4 details, household consumption expenditure contributed 0.2% to GDP, while government expenditure contributed 0.1%. Gross fixed capital formation also had a positive contribution (+0.1%) and the overall figure was then slightly offset by negatives from changes in inventories (-0.1%) and exports less imports (-0.1%).
