On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, MorningStar reported that Eurozone retail sales rose by 2.3% year-over-year in February 2025, exceeding market expectations of a 1.8% increase and marking the first uptick since December 2024. This growth, driven by a 0.3% month-over-month rise, reflects strengthening consumer confidence amid easing inflation and a robust labor market with record-low unemployment. All major retail categories saw gains: food, drinks, and tobacco up 1.9% year-over-year, non-food products (excluding fuel) up 2.5%, and automotive fuel up 0.7%. Despite this recovery—the first since September 2025—analysts warn that escalating trade tensions with the U.S., particularly potential tariffs from the Trump administration, could threaten the Eurozone’s economic momentum.
