- Prior +0.3%
That’s a slight downwards revision to the early readings but it least shows that the euro area economy is still holding up towards the end of last year. As a whole for 2025, euro area GDP is seen increasing by 1.4%. That follows from the 0.9% growth posted in 2024.
Looking at the details for Q4, household consumption expenditure contributed 0.2% while government expenditure contributed 0.1% to GDP. Gross fixed capital formation also had a positive contribution (+0.1%) and the overall figure was then slightly offset by negatives in changes in inventories (-0.1%) and exports less imports (-0.1%).
