BRUSSELS, Belgium, March 24, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Business activity in the eurozone increased for a third consecutive month in March, with the pace of expansion accelerating -- but remaining "slight nonetheless", a closely watched survey showed on Monday. 

The HCOB Flash Eurozone purchasing managers' index (PMI) published by S&P Global registered a figure of 50.4 this month, up from 50.2 in February. Any reading above 50 indicates growth, while a figure below 50 shows contraction.
