Euro zone: What will happen with companies’ cash reserves?

Euro-zone companies have accumulated increasingly large cash reserves; what are they going to do with them? Financing share buybacks, as in the United States, or distributing dividends? Carrying out a growing number of acquisitions (M&As)? Deleveraging? Increasing wages? Investing more? We can now see that euro-zone companies’ large cash reserves seem to almost only lead to an increase in the number and volume of acquisitions. In the most recent period, we have seen a slightly greater increase in wages.
