Economic sentiment in the euro zone improved further in October

In October, the economic sentiment improved in the euro zone, although the European Central Bank has repeatedly warned that China’s and other emerging countries' economic slowdown may halt the recovery in the euro zone.

The overall economic sentiment rose to 105.9 this month from 105.6 in September, confirming the upward trend started in July and defying market expectations of a minor decline. A Reuters poll forecast the euro zone’s economic sentiment at 105.2 points in October. (MTI)
