The 19-member zone eked out growth of 0.3pc quarter on quarter between July and September, lower than the 0.4pc estimates from economists, as Italy, Portugal and the Netherlands underperformed. Indeed, Portugal’s growth has stalled, while Greece’s economy shrank.

On an annual basis, the bloc’s economy grew by 1.6pc compared with the same period last year.

The latest data from Eurostat marks a slowdown from earlier in the year, when 0.4pc was recorded in the second quarter and 0.5pc in the first three months of the year.
