欧盟统计局11月12日发布的初步数据显示,欧元区经济今年第三季度环比增长0.4%,复苏步伐较前一季度明显放慢。今年第二季度,欧元区经济环比增长了1%,复苏势头相当强劲,而第三季度之所以放慢主要是因为德国经济增速大幅下滑。作为欧元区第一大经济体,德国经济第三季度环比增长0.7%,而前一季度的增幅高达2.3%。 Preliminary figures released by Eurostat on November 12 show that the euro area economy saw a 0.4% increase in the third quarter of this year, and the pace of recovery was significantly slower than the previous quarter. The second quarter of this year, the euro zone economy increased by 1%, the momentum of recovery is quite strong, and the reason for the slowdown in the third quarter is mainly due to the sharp decline in German economic growth. As the euro zone’s largest economy, the German economy rose 0.7% in the third quarter, up from 2.3% in the previous quarter.
