Total euro area economy Euro area net saving was broadly unchanged at €838 billion (6.9% of euro area net disposable income) in 2024 compared with the four quarter period ending on the third quarter of 2024. Euro area net non-financial investment decreased to €434 billion (3.6% of net disposable income), due to decreased investment by households and non-financial corporations which more than offset increased net investments by financial corporations and general government (see Chart 1). Euro area net lending to the rest of the world was broadly unchanged at €431 billion reflecting the broadly unchanged net saving and the decrease in net non-financial investment being broadly matched by a decrease in net capital transfers. Net lending of non-financial corporations decreased to €173 billion (1.4% of net disposable income) from €202 billion while that of financial corporations was unchanged at €147 (1.2% of net disposable income). Net lending by households increased to €579 billion (4.8% of net disposable income) from €574 billion. Net borrowing by general government decreased, contributing less negatively to euro area net lending (-€469 billion or ‑3.9% of net disposable income, after -€489 billion). Source: ECB |

May 23, 2025--Europe's policymakers must not rely on the next crisis to force reform to the single currency
The euro is at the core of the European project, but its future is far from assured. Introduced more than 25 years ago, it has survived one crisis after another, and its rules and institutions have changed along the way.
