Economists polled by Reuters had expected growth of 0.2%. following the bloc’s 0.3% expansion in the second quarter.

The European Central Bank cut rates for the third time this year at its October meeting, after headline inflation came in at 1.7% in September, according to a final reading. The ECB cited persistent signs of weak activity in the euro area as a key factor in the central bank’s decision to enact an October cut.
Markets have fully priced another 25-basis-point cut from the ECB in its last meeting of the year in December.
