BBC: Eurozone in recession as rising prices hit spending
The eurozone fell into recession this winter, revised figures show, as consumers were hit by rising prices.
The economy of the 20 nation-bloc contracted by 0.1% between January and March, after also shrinking in the final three months of 2022.
A recession is generally defined as when an economy shrinks for two three-month periods, or quarters, in a row.
