The eurozone economy shrank more than previously estimated in the last three months of2008, official figures say.
Gross domestic product in the 15-nation area fell 1.6%, not 1.5% as previously thought, said the EU's Eurostat office.
The euro declined against the dollar to $1.3270 from $1.3330 after the figures came out, amid fears the economy could contract even further in 2009
