The second estimate of second-quarter GDP growth confirms the stagnation of Europe's largest economy and will do very little to end the 'sick man of Europe' debate. According to the just-released data, the German economy stagnated in the second quarter, after two quarters of contraction.

The seasonally adjusted HCOB Flash Eurozone Composite PMI Output Index, based on approximately 85% of usual survey responses, dropped from 49.9 in June to 48.9 in July, its lowest since last November. The dearth of new orders meant backlogs of work fell at an increased rate as companies often relied on previously placed orders to support current operating levels.

Eurozone Flash PMI Signals Cooling Inflation Amid Rising Recession Risks

Eurozone business output growth came close to stalling in June, according to the latest HCOB flash PMI survey data produced by S&P Global, pointing to renewed weakness in the economy after the brief growth revival recorded in the spring.

The improved macroprudential framework in Europe, increased supply of housing, and bottoming out of interest rates are expected to ease the upward pressures on price growth.
