Eurozone GDP Falls to Just 0.1 Percent in Q2
(MENAFN) The euro area’s economic momentum cooled in the second quarter of 2025, growing just 0.1% from the previous quarter, in line with market forecasts, Eurostat reported on Thursday.
This modest expansion marks a significant deceleration from the 0.6% quarter-on-quarter growth recorded in Q1, highlighting growing concerns over the region’s economic resilience.
Across the broader European Union, GDP edged up 0.2% between April and June.
Among member states, Romania posted the strongest quarterly growth at 1.2%, followed by Poland with 0.8%, while Spain, Slovenia, and Bulgaria each registered 0.7% gains.
At the other end of the spectrum, Ireland saw the steepest contraction with a 1% decline. Germany and Italy also slipped, each recording a 0.1% dip in GDP.
Year-on-year, the euro area’s economy grew 1.5%, narrowly trailing the EU’s 1.6% annual growth rate, according to Eurostat.
In employment figures, both the eurozone and the EU reported 0.1% job growth quarter-on-quarter in Q2. Compared to the same period last year, employment rose 0.7% across both regions.
