Eurozone falls back into recession

Eurozone falls back into recession The eurozone fell back into recession in the third quarter after the combined economy of the 17-member bloc contracted for the second consecutive month, dragged down by the Netherlands and peripheral nations.
Eurostat, the EU’s statistics office said the region’s economy contracted by 0.1 per cent in June to September, compared with the previous three months. This follows from a 0.2 per cnet decline in the second quarter.
The wider EU avoided recession after recording growth of 0.1 per cent in the third quarter, largely thanks to an Olympics-related boost in the UK.
Germany and France expanded in the third quarter, but the outlook remained bleak as the crisis engulfing the eurozone takes its toll on the region’s largest economies.
