Eurozone weekly economic briefing | Strong eurozone economy faces winter headwinds
Monthly data continues to show a gradual but persistent slowdown in economic activity moving deeper into Q4. While we still expect the eurozone economy to experience above-average growth over the coming quarters, it is clear that growth rates have already peaked.
