What is the European market?
The European market includes the economies of the EU member states and other countries in Europe. The most significant of these are Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
Europe is known for its developed economy, strong industrial and service sectors, stable regulatory environment and long traditions. In the European Economic Area, most countries use the euro, which makes trading, planning investments, market activities and comparing prices easier across the region.
Many large global companies operate in Europe, particularly in consumer goods, industrials and financial services.
Europe as an investment
Europe is generally a stable market, and its business environment is relatively predictable. By investing in Europe, you benefit from strong investor protection and a wide range of companies across various sectors. However, Europe’s economic growth is often slower than in the emerging markets, and its ageing population affects long-term growth prospects.
Despite this, Europe can offer valuable diversification as part of your broader investment portfolio. To build a balanced portfolio, it is worth considering investments in other regions as well.
