The eurozone economy grew by 0.1% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2026, a slight deceleration from the 0.2% recorded in the previous quarter.

Among the major economies, Spain remained one of the strongest performers, expanding by 0.6%, while Germany’s growth edged up to 0.3%.

As with the global economy, the eurozone faces mounting headwinds from conflict in the Middle East.

Inflation has already picked up and the recent surge in energy prices is expected to feed through more broadly in the coming months. As a result, Cebr anticipates fairly subdued performance in 2026, forecasting annual growth of 0.9%.
