The perverse effect of the euro zone’s very low interest rates
It is now evident that the very low interest rates in the euro zone since 2014: Have not lifted the investment rate and have not reduced the savings rate; But have led to significant capital flows from the euro zone to the rest of the world, in particular to the United States. Instead of correcting excess savings over investment, the euro zone’s very low interest rates have channelled the euro zone’s savings to the rest of the world. This is very inefficient.
