Slow but consistent growth across Europe is evident in the latest batch of quarterly GDP figures released by Eurostat.
For the first time in a year, no economy has shown a fall in GDP. Instead, all have grown between 0.1% and 0.8% compared with the second quarter of 2016.

The seasonally adjusted figures show Bulgaria and Portugal as top performers with 0.8% growth, closely followed by Cyprus, The Netherlands, Slovakia and Spain with 0.7%.
