- Eurozone grew 0.4% in Q3, a pace that beat projections even as headwinds mounted.
- France unexpectedly contracted in Q3 as headwinds strengthened, while the broader slowdown was framed around mounting French debt worries.
Why it matters: France lost ground in Q3 as its economy contracted, while the eurozone still expanded 0.4% and beat projections; the combination shows that regional growth did not eliminate the country-level split and kept French debt concerns at the center of the slowdown story.
