European Union statistics office Eurostat said gross domestic product growth in the 19-country euro zone was 0.2% in the second quarter versus the previous quarter, a slowdown from 0.4% percent in the first three months of 2019. German GDP fell 0.1% quarter-on-quarter, Germany’s Federal Statistics Office said earlier on Wednesday. The annual growth rate in Europe’s largest economy slowed to 0.4% in the second quarter from 0.9% in the first.
Industrial production in the euro zone area fell by 1.6% in June compared with the previous month, and by 2.6% from the same month in 2018. Economists had predicted less sharp drops in output of 1.4% month-on-month and 1.2% year-on-year.
