Eurostat said gross domestic product in the 19 countries sharing the euro rose 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in the July-September period and by 1.6% year-on-year.

The Eurozone economy grew by 0.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2016, the highest rate for 12 months, supported by household spending and private sector investment, data from the European statistics agency Eurostat showed on Tuesday.

The figures stood in contrast with German data last week showing output in the euro zone's largest economy up 2.8 per cent for the month.

The jobless rate in the 17-nation euro zone touched 10.8 per cent in February.
