(Sharecast News) - The eurozone economy managed to defy forecasts and expand by 0.1% in the second quarter, according to official flash data published on Wednesday.
Economists had anticipated zero growth after a 0.6% expansion in the first three months of the year.
A stronger-than-expected economic performance in France and Spain, helped offset a contraction in Germany-the single-currency bloc's largest economy.
Earlier preliminary data from German statistics agency Destatis showed German GDP shrank slightly by 0.1% in the second quarter of 2025 from the previous three months.
