European Commission-Fact Sheet-The Investment Plan for Europe: Q&A
July 22, 2015--1.What is the Investment Plan for Europe? Why do we need it?
Since the global economic and financial crisis, the EU has been suffering from low levels of investment. Collective and coordinated efforts at European level are needed to reverse this downward trend and put Europe firmly on the path of economic recovery, which is the top priority of the Juncker Commission.
Compared to the 2007 peak, investments have dropped by around 15% in the EU.
In the short term, weak investment slows economic recovery. In the longer term, the lack of investment hurts growth and competitiveness. Weak investment in the euro area has a considerable impact on the capital stock, which in turn holds back Europe's growth potential, productivity, employment levels and job creation.
