Investors’ aversion for the euro zone remains high
When we look at capital flows entering or leaving the euro zone, we see that all types of capital are currently flowing out of the zone. This shows investors’ aversion for the euro zone and their lack of confidence in the euro-zone economy compared with other countries. This wariness towards the euro zone is excessive: admittedly, euro-zone growth and interest rates are low, but corporate profitability is higher than in the United States, the level of corporate modernisation is close to the US level, and the number of jobs in new technologies is the same, in proportion to total employment, as in the United States.
