The two disadvantages for the European equity market

Like all other equity markets, the European equity market will be boosted by the expansionary monetary policy (very low interest rates, growing liquidity). However, this market will suffer from two disadvantages: Compared with the United States, the lower weight of technology companies; Compared with the United States and emerging countries, the low potential growth in the euro zone. European equities are therefore likely to rise, but less than US or emerging market equities.

Between 2014 and 2023, France was at the top of the ranking.
