Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Pressure on the European Central Bank President Mario Draghi to extend its €1.1trn (£800bn) money-printing programme eased slightly after faster growth in the eurozone.
A stronger showing from Italy and Greece prompted Eurostat to lift its estimates in the April-June quarter from 0.3 per cent to 0.4 per cent. Growth in the first three months of the year was also revised up from 0.4 per cent to 0.5 per cent.
Teunis Brosens, an economist at ING, said: “With [the] upward revisions... a 1.5 per cent growth rate for 2015 comes back within reach.”
He added, however, that the eurozone still faced dangers.
