The euro zone economy's growth in the second quarter this year was slightly smaller than previously estimated after the EU's statistics agency today revised its data.
The 20-country single currency zone's recorded economic growth of 0.2% between April and June from the previous quarter, down from the 0.3% estimate reported in July.
Eurostat also revised its figure for the 27-country European Union's economy, which expanded by 0.2%, slightly lower than the previous estimate of 0.3%.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet and Bloomberg had forecast the euro zone economy to grow by 0.2%t before the first estimate was published in July.
The revisions will likely add to concerns about the euro zone, especially over Germany, Europe's largest economy, which is weighing on the area's performance.
Germany's output contracted by 0.1% in the second quarter, official data showed.
Meanwhile, euro zone employment rose by 0.2% quarter-on-quarter and rose by 0.8% year-on-year in the second quarter, the European Union statistics office said today, confirming its earlier estimates for both figures.
