LONDON--Economic indicators due next week are expected to show economic sentiment is slowly improving in the 18 countries that share the euro.

Median forecasts by analysts polled by The Wall Street Journal say consumer confidence for the eurozone overall will pick up slightly in December. Indicators for household consumption in France and the business climate in Belgium are expected to show some modest improvement as well.

Also due is the final revision of France's third-quarter gross domestic product, which is expected to confirm the country's economy expanded by 0.3% during the third quarter--compared with a 0.1% contraction in the second.
