The euro zone grew by 0.4% during the second quarter of the year despite the war in the Middle East
El PIB entre abril y junio rebasa las previsiones de organismos internacionales y casas de análisis privadas
The energy crisis caused by the war in the Middle East does not seem to have had a significant impact on the European economy. On the contrary, between March and June, a quarter heavily marked by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the gross domestic product (GDP) in the euro zone grew by 0.4% compared to the beginning of the same year and by 0.5% in the entire EU.
The data, released this Thursday by Eurostat, the European statistical agency, is considerably better than expected by public bodies, such as the ECB, and by private analysis firms.
