Euro-Zone GDP May Be Weaker Than Previously Expected – Analysts

The euro zone economy is expected to have expanded at a modest rate in the fourth quarter, but economists warned of a weak and uneven recovery.

Gross domestic product (GDP) data for the final quarter of 2013 will be published Friday, with economists forecasting growth of around 0.2 percent, quarter-on-quarter.

“Growth of 0.2 percent is hardly a strong reading, but it is in line with our scenario of a modest and gradual recovery in the euro zone,” Apolline Menut, European economist at Barclays, told CNBC.
