Euro GDP growth was confirmed at 0.2% q/q in Q1. In line with our expectation, growth was mainly driven by domestic demand while there was a negative contribution from net exports.

Both household consumption and investments increased for the fourth consecutive quarter. Hence, the improvement in consumer and business sentiment in the euro area is also reflected in hard data. Household consumption grew 0.1% q/q in Q1 up from 0.0% in Q4. Investments increased by 0.3% q/q, which was lower than in Q4, when investments were 0.9% q/q in Q4.

Although investments increased at a slower pace the positive growth rate suggests that investments, which were postponed during the crisis, have started to be initiated. There is still plenty of pent-up demand in investments and looking ahead we expect it to boost growth.
