Eurozone Growth Surpassed Expectations in 2025, Despite Trump

January 31, 2026

69565

With a growth rate of 1.5% in 2025, this surpasses the predictions of economists surveyed by Bloomberg, who anticipated 1.4%, as well as the Commission’s estimate of 1.3%.

This performance signifies more vigorous economic activity than anticipated at the close of the previous year.

Several eurozone nations reported higher-than-expected GDP figures for the fourth quarter, particularly Germany and Italy, which saw increases of 0.3% and 0.7%, respectively, while Spain experienced a growth of 0.8%. In contrast, France’s growth was disappointing at only 0.2%.

Consequently, the GDP of the eurozone countries rose by 0.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter and increased by 1.3% year-on-year, as detailed by the European statistics office. (30 January 2026)

Looks like the Eurozone’s growth is outpacing even the wildest dreams of our resident economists—who knew a bit of chaos could spark some actual progress? 😂 Maybe they should send Trump a thank-you card for the extra motivation!
