Citable research brief

Core conclusion · Tlines extraction

Eurozone Q3 GDP rose 0.4% q/q, lifted by volatile Irish data (0.2 pp) and strength in Spain, the Netherlands and Germany, while France and Italy disappointed. Excluding Ireland, growth of 0.2% q/q was in line with recent quarters, supporting a 1.1% 2026 forecast with possible upside. US Q3 growth reached 3.4% annualised, the fastest since Q3 2025, driven by private domestic demand and AI-related investment.

Key arguments

Eurozone resilience is broadly confirmed but Q3 headline is flattered by volatile Irish figures; underlying growth is around 0.2% q/q.
Germany's recovery continues for a fourth consecutive quarter, while Italy stagnated and French weakness largely reflects a temporary aerospace shock.
US growth is near-immune to the energy shock, with AI-related investment and imports driving activity, though consumption is funded by a falling saving rate.
BNP Paribas sees French growth rebounding to 0.3% q/q in Q4 and 0.3% for 2026, then 0.8% in 2027.

Key numbers

Eurozone Q3 GDP: +0.4% q/q
Eurozone ex-Ireland Q3 GDP: +0.2% q/q
Eurozone 2026 growth forecast: 1.1%
US Q3 GDP: 3.4% annualised (0.8% q/q)
US saving rate: 3.8% at end-Q3, from 4.4%

Main risks

Irish GDP volatility distorts Eurozone headline growth and may overstate underlying momentum.
French aerospace supply delays could persist, delaying the expected Q4 rebound.
US consumption relies on a falling saving rate, leaving demand vulnerable if the saving rate cannot fall further.

Corresponding source evidence

The Q3 data reinforce our forecast of 1.1% growth this year, which could even be slightly exceeded, as German and Spanish momentum shows no sign of fading. · this year
In France, the negative surprise ( -0.1% q/q against a consensus of +0.1% q/q) stems from a new one - off factor (the sharp fall in aerospace output caused by delays in input deliveries) and masks an encouraging rebound in household consumption.
Eurozone: The resilience of growth isconfirmed Eurozone GDP grew by 0.4% q/q in Q3 according to Eurostat's preliminary flash estimate, above both the consensus and our Nowcast (0.3%).
