. The data shows great divergence in Europe between different countries in economic growth. A slight majority, 12* out of 听the 20, had smaller economies than a year earlier, with Greece again suffering the biggest slump, followed by the other Southern European countries as well as Czechia and Hungary. Latvia was the star performer, followed by Estonia, Lithuania and Slovakia. 听Note the big divergence in growth between the two countries that once formed Czechoslovakia.

Numbers for Ireland, Malta, Slovenia, Poland, Luxembourg, Denmark and Sweden aren't yet available, but for the other 20, one can divide them into the six categories you can see below:

Rapid Boom: (More than 5% growth):听尝补迟惫颈补
Significant Growth (1.5% 听to 5% hrowth ):听Estonia, Lithuania, Slovakia
Barely Growing听(0 to 1.4% growth):听Germany, Bulgaria, Austria, France
Mildly Contracting (0 to 1.4% contraction):听Britain. Romania, Holland, Belgium, Finland.
Significantly Contracting ( 1.5% to 5% contraction):听Czechia, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Cyprus
Depression (more than 5% contraction):听Greece

*=some would perhaps object to my inclusion of Britain in the mild contraction category since they had zero annual growth. But considring that this first of all means that per capita growth is negative and secondly that the third quarter number was artificially and temporarily boosted by the Olympic Games (numbers for September that has been released indicates indeed that growth turned negative again once the Olympics ended)
