Euro zone economic growth slows
The euro zone economy slowed as expected year-on-year in the last three months of 2018 as growth in Germany came to a halt and Italy slipped into recession, official data showed on Thursday confirming earlier estimates.
The European Union's statistics office Eurostat said gross domestic product in the 19 countries sharing the euro currency rose 0.2 percent quarter-on-quarter for a 1.2 percent year-on-year increase, slowing from 1.6 percent year-on-year in the third quarter.
