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.

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.

Euro Area GDP Growth Rate Confirmed at 0.3%
The Eurozone economy expanded 0.3% on quarter in the last three months of 2021, the same as in the previous estimates, driven by gross fixed capital formation (3.5%) and government spending (0.5%) while household consumption declined 0.6% and the contribution from net trade was negative as exports (2.9%) rose less than imports (4.6%). Still, it is the slowest growth in three quarters, as the omicron coronavirus variant spread across the European continent later in the year, and restrictions hurt the services sector and labour shortages persisted due to illness or quarantine rules. Considering full 2021, the Euro Area economy advanced 5.3%, following a 6.4% contraction in 2020.
