The current situation index saw an uplift of four points, landing at negative 25.5, while the economic expectations index made an impressive leap of six points to 1.0. This marks the first time since July 2024 that the expectations index has ventured above zero, signaling a potential shift in economic sentiment.

What Does This Mean for the Eurozone?

"The economy in the eurozone is attempting to navigate its way out of the crisis. Despite the 'first mover' among the economic indicators still sitting at -12.7 points, a 4-point improvement indicates a step in the right direction. Particularly encouraging are the expectation values, which suggest that there's room for a bit more optimism," the report elaborated.
