Eurozone officially in recession
Third quarter GDP data for the Eurozone published yesterday revealed that the area has once again slipped into recession. According to Eurostat Q3 GDP was down by 0.1%, which is the second consecutive quarterly decline. Only the German and French economies expanded, both by 0.2%. Martin van Vliet from ING comments: “GDP figures clearly demonstrate that the Eurozone economy as a whole is in desperate need of macroeconomic stimulus. With policymakers seemingly reluctant to engineer a coordinated pull-back from fiscal austerity, more monetary stimulus and a weaker currency is likely to be needed to put Eurozone back on a path of sustained growth.”
ECB Governing Council member Luc Coene declared in the European morning that Spain should urgently seek EU aid. European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli Rehn, who spoke later in the day, assured that the solution to the Greek problem requires a combination of measures, providing the principal amount of its debt does not change.-FXstreet.com
