Summary
Eurostat’s flash estimate showed eurozone GDP grew 0.4% quarter on quarter in Q2 2025, up from 0.3% in Q1 and in line with market forecasts.
Strong labor markets and easing inflation helped support household spending, while services such as tourism and business services offset still-weak manufacturing and external demand.
Markets barely moved after the release, with the euro steady and government bond yields little changed because the figure matched expectations.
For the ECB, the data reinforces a gradual policy approach: inflation is nearing the 2% target, but officials remain wary of wage growth and sticky services inflation.
The reading points to a steady but incomplete recovery, with growth still below the pre-pandemic trend and vulnerable to trade weakness, geopolitical tensions and energy-price spikes.
