- The country breakdowns already published suggest that household spending rose strongly in Q4 while net trade may have made a small positive contribution to GDP. 

- Investment, which has been the weak link in recent years, may also have helped to boost GDP. Admittedly, it fell again on the quarter in France, but rose in Germany, Spain and Italy.
