The Eurozone quarterly economic growth was revised higher to 2.2 percent in the second quarter of 2021, a solid rebound following two consecutive periods of contraction, amid a recovery in activity and domestic demand due to the reopening of the bloc's economies, helped by the rapid pace of COVID-19 vaccination. Household consumption jumped 3.7 percent (vs -2.1 percent in Q1) and fixed investment rose 1.1 percent (vs -0.2 percent in Q1). In addition, public spending advanced 1.2 percent (vs -0.5 percent in Q1), while net trade made no contribution to the GDP growth as exports grew nearly at the same pace as imports. Changes in inventories, however, subtracted 0.2 percentage points from the GDP. On a yearly basis, the economy expanded 14.3 percent, the most on record, reflecting a low base year due to the pandemic. source: EUROSTAT

Eurozone GDP Contraction Less Severe than 1st Thought
The Euro Area economy shrank 0.3 percent on quarter in the first three months of 2021, compared with a preliminary estimate of 0.6 percent contraction. Still, the bloc entered a double-dip recession as activity and demand were hit by fresh distancing and lockdown measures imposed during that period, to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. A sharp decline in household consumption was partially offset by an increase in fixed investment and positive contributions from net trade and inventories. Among the bloc's largest economies, Germany, France, Spain and the Netherlands fell back into contraction territory, while Italy's economy posted modest growth despite the restrictions. Year-on-year, the GDP dropped 1.3 percent in the first quarter, much less than a second estimate of 1.8 percent fall.
