The Euro Area GDP expanded by 0.6% on quarter in Q1 2022, twice a 0.3% growth in the previous estimate, and above a downwardly revised 0.2% gain in Q4. Net trade and inventories were the main drivers of the expansion. Exports increased 0.4% while imports fell 0.6%. Gross fixed capital formation rose a meagre 0.1% while both household consumption (-0.7%) and public expenditure (-0.3%) contracted. Compared with the same quarter in 2021, the economy advanced 5.4%, also higher than 5.1% in the previous estimates. The economic outlook for the Euro Area is subdued as the war in Ukraine is far from over and continues to exert further upward pressures on commodity prices, causing renewed supply disruptions and increasing uncertainty. At the same time, the ECB is set to end 8 years of negative interest rates, in an attempt to curb record inflation, which is likely to weigh on consumer spending and investment. The European Commission expects the EA GDP growth at 2.7% for 2022. source: EUROSTAT

Eurozone GDP Growth Slows More than Expected
The Euro Area economy expanded by 0.2 percent on quarter in the first three months of 2022, the least since the bloc exited a recession last year and below market expectations of a 0.3 percent advance. Growth in Spain (0.3 percent) and Germany (0.2 percent) more than offset a contraction in Italy (-0.2 percent) while the French economy stalled. Preliminary Eurostat data indicated the war and related commodity price spikes cut growth by 0.1 percentage points, as the European Commission forecast just before the Russian invasion that growth would be 0.3 percent quarter-on-quarter. Year-on-year, the GDP expanded 5 percent, accelerating from an upwardly 4.7 percent increase in Q4 and matching forecasts.
