Europe growth beats forecast

The eurozone economy grew faster than analysts forecast in the third quarter as Germany and France rebounded and Greece showed some signs of revival.

Gross domestic product increased 0.2% from the previous period, when it rose 0.1%, according to Eurostat.

The eurozone’s recovery has been in peril since economic malaise transferred from once crisis-stricken nations such as Spain and Ireland to countries in the region’s core.
