EUROZONE TO RELEASE


2ND-QUARTER G.D.P. DATA


Just how fragile the eurozone economic recovery has been will become clearer on Thursday when Eurostat, the European Union statistics agency, releases its second-quarter estimate for gross domestic product. The economy of the 18-nation currency union grew an anemic 0.2 percent in the first quarter, compared with the previous quarter. Data from Italy last week showed that the nation’s economy fell back into recession, with G.D.P. unexpectedly shrinking in the second quarter after contracting the previous quarter. And many economists expect that the German economy, the region’s largest, shrank in the second quarter after growing for a year. PATRICK SCOTT


ENERGY BILLS COME DUE


IN STRUGGLING PUERTO RICO


Thursday is the latest deadline for Puerto Rico’s struggling electric power authority to make overdue payments on two lines of credit that it uses to buy fuel for its power plants. The power authority, known as Prepa, ran short of cash earlier this summer, but its lenders gave it a breather, rather than forcing what bondholders fear could be a messy restructuring that could send ripples through Puerto Rico’s heavily indebted economy. Citigroup provides a line of credit for roughly $250 million and a bank syndicate provides a $550 million line. MARY WILLIAMS WALSH


MODEST GAINS EXPECTED


IN U.S. PRODUCER PRICES


On Friday, the Labor Department will release Producer Price Index data for July.

The consensus calls for a 0.2 percent rise in the index, which is below the 0.4 percent gain for June. NELSON D. SCHWARTZ
