A recession is officially recognized when two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth occurs. During the first quarter of the year, Eurozone and EU economic growth rate was flat. During the second quarter the third and fourth largest economies in the Eurozone, Italy and Spain, saw their economies shrink by 0.7 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively. Of the 17 countries in the Eurozone, six are currently in a recession - Greece, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Malta and Portugal.
"The big picture is that the economic growth required to bring the region's debt crisis to an end is still nowhere in sight," said Jonathan Loynes, chief European economist at Capital Economics.
