Gross domestic product growth slowed to 0.1% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter from 0.6% in the first quarter.
Annual GDP growth decelerated to 1.4% in the second quarter from 1.5% in the first quarter.
All figures were in line with preliminary data published by Eurostat on July 30.
Separately, Eurostat reported industrial production in the eurozone fell 1.3% monthly in June after growth of 1.1% in May, the latter downwardly revised from a 1.7% rise. June's decline was worse than the FXStreet-cited market consensus of a 1.0% contraction.
The largest monthly fall in industrial production was in Ireland with 11%, followed by Portugal with 3.6%. The best monthly growth was in Belgium with 5.1%, followed by France with 3.8%.
Annually, industrial production growth slowed markedly to 0.2% in June from 3.1% in May, the latter revised down from 3.7%. June's minor growth underperformed against market consensus of a 1.7% on-year increase in industrial production.
The sharpest annual fall in industrial production in the eurozone was in Slovenia with 4.3%. The biggest annual growth was in Ireland with 11%.
