Eurozone Economy Growth Revised Down to 1.4% in 2025

The eurozone economy grew by 1.4 percent in 2025, at a slightly slower pace than previously estimated, revised official data showed Friday.

The EU's statistics agency revised the figure from the earlier 1.5 percent first estimate in January.

Eurostat also said quarter-on-quarter growth for the single currency area reached 0.2 percent in the last three months of 2025, down from an earlier estimate of 0.3 percent.

The agency revised its figure for the 27-country European Union as well.

Eurostat said the EU grew by 1.5 percent in 2025 and not 1.6 percent as previously estimated, as it also revised down the bloc's growth figure for the last three months of 2025 to 0.2 percent from 0.3 percent.

The data also showed Ireland's economy contracted by 3.8 percent in the final quarter of 2025, much higher than Eurostat's earlier forecast of a 0.6 percent contraction.
