Frankfurt, 5 August 2022 (TDI): European Central Bank (ECB) articulated that supply hurdles, rising costs of energy, and increased uncertainty are creating room for investment in the recovery of Euro area business.
The start of the pandemic caused a sharp decline in non-construction business funding in the Euro area, which is also alluded to as an investment.
