The Eurozone economy continues to contract at the beginning of the year, with overall business activity and new orders softening, yet growth expectations have strengthened in January. A key observation is the persistent and stubborn inflation, posing challenges to the European Central Bank's (ECB) ability to lower high interest rates. Interestingly, there is a difference in the eurozone's service sector performance, with southern European countries like Italy and Spain showing relative resilience, partially offsetting declines in Germany and France. As a result, the PMI for services only marginally dipped to 48.4, close to the expansion threshold.
