Investment in equipment and buildings was the key driver of growth in the euro zone in the final three months of 2015, helping to offset a second consecutive negative contribution from trade.
Eurostat confirmed today its earlier estimate that the economy of the euro zone grew by 0.3% in the three months from October to December.
Eurostat also revised up its year-on-year growth figure to 1.6% from 1.5%.
In the previous three months, the euro zone economy also grew by 0.3% month-on-month and by 1.6% from a year earlier.
For the year as a whole, GDP rose by 1.6%, compared with 0.9% expansion in 2014.
All countries in the EU saw some level of growth last year, with the exception of Greece, which contracted by 0.8%.
