It was up uh just a touch under two percent annualized for the quarter.
voice-verified
And again, like not dissimilar to the Japanese GDP story, there's been a lot of volatility in that series over the course of twenty twenty five, driven uh I think in large part
voice-verified
by just some of the ups and downs in auto manufacturing.
voice-verified
But then also don't forget in Europe a big part of that story is pharmaceuticals.
voice-verified
And that was a sector that was, you know, buffered uh quite badly, I think, by uh you know, headlines and and news on tariffs as well.
voice-verified
So I think the the broad sort of story is, you know, yes, didn't finish the year on a great note, but the quarter was okay.
voice-verified
And looking
voice-verified
ahead into 2026, um, you know, there is a sense that industrial production should be okay.
voice-verified
Retail sales in the region uh have firmed nicely over the last year and a bit.
voice-verified
And then also of course we've got this, you know, pretty powerful story around fiscal spending and expansion in Germany as well.
voice-verified
So yeah, didn't finish finish the year on a good note, but I don't think that gives us too much reason to be pessimistic in the year ahead.
voice-verified
That's right.
voice-verified
So I mean the the way, you know, we might think about the
voice-verified
Uh PSI number is, you know, yes to acknowledge that it was a bit softer than the prior reading, but it's still above the expansion level.
voice-verified
So uh, you know, maybe some reason for cautious optimism there.
voice-verified
Uh and the card spending numbers, you know, I'm not sure economists spend too much time with that data release because I'm not sure that they feel like it gives you the right steer on
voice-verified
Uh what the consumer is up to.
voice-verified
But that's the nature of uh recoveries.
voice-verified
Well everyone's broke in January, right?
voice-verified
So the worst month to look at.
