GDP growth in the euro-zone probably rose slightly in Q1

GDP growth is set to have slowed in Germany (07.00 BST) and the Netherlands (08.30 BST) after a strong end to 2014. But France's GDP growth (06.30 BST) probably accelerated and the Italy's economy (09.00 BST) may have just about expanded after Q4's stagnation.

Capital Economics thinks the euro-zone economy (10.00 BST) will have expanded by 0.4% q/q in Q1, a slight improvement on Q4's 0.3%.

Meanwhile, euro-zone industrial production (10.00 BST) is likely to have stagnated in March but the sector probably still fared reasonably well in Q1 as a whole.
