Economic confidence in the Eurozone continued to maintain its momentum.

Data released last week showed that confidence reached a 17 year high suggesting that the Eurozone economic recovery would close on a high and solid growth for the year.

The Eurozone confidence index was seen rising to 114.6 in November, up from a revised print of 114.1 in October, according to data from the European Commission released on Wednesday.

Confidence in Consumer and Construction Sector

The increase in the confidence came from the consumer sector and the construction sector.

The growth from both these sectors managed to offset the decrease noticed in the retail sector.

The consumer sentiment index was seen rising 0.1 in November compared to -1.1 the month before.

This was consistent with the flash estimates released previously.
