The euro zone’s low trend productivity gains are a concern
The euro zone’s l ow trend productivity gains since 2002, at less than only 1% per year , are a concern . They suggest that potential growth in the euro zone is around 1.2% per year at best. What may account for the weakness of productivity gains in the euro zone? A rising weight of sectors (domestic services) with a low level of productivity? Insufficient investment in new technologies and capital modernisation? An insufficient overall level of corporate investment? An ageing labour force?
