30 July 2026 · macro statistics · confidence: confirmed · status: scheduled · impact 4/5 · EU relevance 5/5

Why it matters

GDP reporting is a macro signal for demand, fiscal space, industrial pressure and central-bank reaction functions. It also helps interpret trade shocks and strategic-sector data in context.

What to watch

• Growth momentum versus consensus and prior quarter.
• Demand mix: consumption, investment, inventories, government spending, exports and imports.
• Signals for ECB, Fed or Chinese policy response and spillovers into European industry.

Briefing

No consensus forecast has been published; the advance estimate will be compared against Q1 2026's upwardly revised 2.1% annualized rate, which masked softer underlying private demand (real final sales to private domestic purchasers at 1.7%) despite a sharp downward revision to imports.
