Growth fades in Europe: Is the recovery already running out of steam?
Europe's economic momentum nearly stalled in the second quarter of 2025, with growth barely registering and industry output sliding sharply—raising concerns over whether the region's recovery is already running out of steam. According to Eurostat's second estimate released on Thursday, seasonally adjusted GDP in the euro area rose by just 0.1% in the three months to June, unchanged from the initial flash reading. The wider European Union (EU) grew by 0.2%, also in line with earlier estimates. These figures mark a stark slowdown from the robust first quarter, when GDP expanded by 0.6% in the eurozone and 0.5% across the EU thanks to strong export growth. In contrast, the United States economy bounced back strongly, posting a 0.7% quarterly expansion following a slight contraction in the first quarter. On an annual basis, eurozone GDP rose 1.4%, well behind Washington's 2.0% pace. Diverging national performances Beneath the headline figures, the recovery remains highly uneven across the bloc. Spain led the pack with 0.7% quarterly growth, fuelled by strong domestic demand and capital investment. Portugal followed with a 0.6% gain, while France managed a modest 0.3% expansion. However, both Germany and Italy, the eurozone's largest and third-largest economies, slipped by 0.1%. For Germany, the contraction reflects continued weakness in investment, particularly in construction and capital goods, while Italian output suffered from subdued consumption and softening industrial activity. Ireland saw the steepest drop, with output contracting by 1%. Elsewhere in the EU, growth was more robust in Eastern Europe, with Romania and Poland expanding by 1.2% and 0.8%, respectively, helped by resilient domestic demand and inflows from the Next Generation EU (NGEU) programme. Industrial downturn clouds outlook Adding to the worries, industrial production in the euro area dropped by 1.3% in June, reversing a 1.1% rise in May and missing expectations of a more moderate decline by 1%. The fall was broad-based, with capital goods production down 2.2% and non-durable consumer goods plunging 4.7%. In the wider EU, output fell by 1%. Among member states, Ireland recorded the largest monthly drop in industrial production at -11.3%, followed by Portugal and Lithuania. In contrast, Belgium, France and Sweden posted notable gains. US outpaces Europe, but sentiment is shifting While the euro area continues to lag behind the US, in terms of both output and productivity growth, Goldman Sachs believes that the sentiment is shifting towards Europe. Economists Giovanni Pierdomenico and Sven Jari Stehn note that Germany's fiscal policy pivot and heightened macroeconomic uncertainty in the US are helping shift investor attitudes. Goldman Sachs has upgraded its euro area growth forecast for 2027 by 1.2% since the start of the year, while downgrading its US projection by 1.7% over the same period. Portfolio flows into Europe have picked up, and the euro has strengthened notably against the dollar. Europe's long-term challenges and opportunities Despite the improved mood, Europe still faces deep structural challenges. Elevated energy costs—particularly for gas and electricity—continue to erode competitiveness. Low investment in high-growth sectors, regulatory fragmentation, and sluggish productivity gains further weigh on potential. In addition, China, once a key export market, has increasingly become a competitor, squeezing Europe's manufacturing base. Yet there are reasons for optimism. Increased public investment, driven by the NGEU programme and Germany's €500bn infrastructure plan, could support medium-term growth. Europe also remains a global leader in pharmaceuticals and has significant untapped potential in capital markets integration, digitalisation and green infrastructure. "Europe has opportunities to improve its economic performance through increased public investment, leadership in growth industries such as pharmaceuticals and green technologies, financial market reforms, and further integration of the internal market," Pierdomenico said. Efforts to deepen the single market—spurred by the European Commission's Competitiveness Compass, informed by the Draghi and Letta reports—are seen as vital steps to unlocking future growth. "European policymakers have a window of opportunity to build on this improved macro picture with reforms that lead to a lasting improvement in Europe's economic performance," Pierdomenico added. Goldman Sachs remains constructive on Europe's medium-term outlook, forecasting euro area growth above consensus for 2025–2028.

Why Italians are swapping their beloved beach holidays for mountains
For decades, Italian families up and down the boot have followed the same summer routine. They book their sun loungers and umbrellas at their regular beach destination for weeks, or even months, and decamp to the seaside for the holidays. This year, however, companies based on the beach are reporting a drastic drop in visitors, especially those who stay for extended periods. At the same time, Italy's mountain ranges to the north are besieged by tourists. Political factions are blaming price hikes at the coast for the lack of holidaymakers, but heatwaves and a changing climate are also key drivers. Beach holidays in Italy are becoming more expensive Italians are snubbing their beloved beaches in droves this year, with as much as a 25 per cent drop in visitors in June and July along some coastlines. "We're in the busiest tourist season of the year, but there aren't any people: we're here counting sheep," one beach establishment owner from Abruzzo told Italian media. Beach establishment association Assobalneari Italia has attributed the decline to the high cost of living and its impact on spending. The cost of renting a sun lounger is now on average 17 per cent more than it was four years ago, according to data collected by the consumer association Altroconsumo. On the beaches of Lazio, for example, it's difficult to rent two sun loungers and an umbrella for less than €30 a day. This figure rises to €90 in the most popular seaside resorts in Puglia and Sardinia. Italians escape to the mountains for cooler weather Italians aren't necessarily abandoning the beaches to stay at home and save money. In sharp contrast to the crisis in beach tourism, there has been a boom in visitors heading to the country's mountain destinations. While it's true that a break in the mountains on average costs less than at the beach, experts suggest it's more to do with the climatic changes pummelling the continent. June was one of the hottest on record globally, with Europe experiencing an intense and prolonged heatwave that saw temperatures soar above 40°C in several countries. The heat abated slightly in July, but the month was still Europe's fourth-warmest on record overall. In response, tourists are turning to cooler climes for some respite from the heat, particularly Alpine areas like the Dolomites. In Trentino, a northern area home to several national parks and mountain peaks, visitor numbers are already close to breaking last summer's record of over 10 million. 'We need to be good at promoting more than just a few iconic locations' The surge in summer tourism has been a salvation for many mountain resorts struggling with warmer winters and a curtailed snow season. But tourism experts say it is now vital to bolster infrastructure and management to prevent another case of overtourism. "I don't like the term 'overtourism'; I prefer the term 'bad management,' meaning poor organisation of visitor flows," Gianni Battaiola, president of Trentino Marketing, told Italian media. Dozens of popular mountain destinations have struggled to cope with the massive influx of visitors this summer. One example even made it into international media. High in the Dolomites, a hiking trail on Seceda mountain has become a renowned place for taking dramatic shots of the spiky Odle Peaks. This summer, walkers and locals have been sharing images of the route jammed with queues of tourists waiting to take Instagram-worthy snaps. Some 8,000 people reportedly walked the path on a single day in July. Frustrations grew to the point that local landowners decided to take independent action and install a turnstile with a toll at the beginning of a trail. "In some areas, such as Seceda, Lake Braies, and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the influx is difficult to manage,' added Walter De Cassan, president of the hotel association Federalberghi Belluno. 'We need to be good at promoting more than just a few iconic locations. Just a few kilometres away, you'll find areas that are equally beautiful, but still relatively unfrequented." Given Europe's lengthening summers, tourism experts are also emphasising the attractions of the mountains in September and October, in a bid to spread out the visitor influx. Battaiola of Trentino Marketing said autumn is "taking shape" this year, thanks in part to initiatives such as keeping mountain huts open later in the season and offering activities centred around the area's autumnal gastronomy and viticulture.

Wildfire across Europe kill at least two and cause widespread damage
Wildfires across southern Europe continue to cause massive damage and threaten the evacuation of thousands as a heatwave scorches parts of the continent. In Greece, firefighters are battling to control wildfires on the outskirts of the nation's third largest city, Patras. Seven major wildfires forced multiple evacuations, destroying homes and businesses. The local civil protection service issued more than 20 mobile phone alerts due to the fire. High winds hindered firefighting efforts on nearby islands, where authorities were on standby to evacuate tourist resorts. Other severe fires burned in the western part of the Greek mainland as well as on the island of Chios. In Albania, wildfires burned forests, houses and killed at least one person. Several villages were evacuated as the fires continue to affect parts of the country. Around thirty wildfires are endangering residents and burning forest areas, according to authorities. An 80-year-old man was reportedly killed by a fire in the Gramsh district, approximately 80km from the capital city of Tirana. Around 1,000 firefighters, army personnel and local staff were mobilised to fight the flames, according to Albanian officials. Wildfires on the Iberian Peninsula In Spain, thousands are facing evacuation orders as wildfires burn across the Iberian Peninsula. Firefighters have largely contained a blaze outside Madrid that broke out Monday night. That fire killed a man, led to dozens being evacuated and affected over 10 square kilometres of land. Several people have been arrested by Spanish officials as the alleged perpetrators of fires that broke out. The heatwave in the region is expected to reach up to 44 degrees Celsius in some areas. In Portugal, emergency services are battling a series of wildfires amid another heatwave. Authorities said three major fires that started over the weekend were of concern. Around 2,000 firefighters are on the ground to try to tackle the flames, with more than 700 working to control a fire in Trancoso. An extreme weather alert was extended until Friday throughout mainland Portugal. Italian firefighters are tackling a wildfire on mount Vesuvius, where fires have been blazing since Friday. Planes dropped water over the flames hundreds of times to contain the wildfire. Europe is warming faster than any other continent, according to the EU Copernicus Institute, and wildfires have massively impacted the continent over the summer.
