The European Commission said that the economic recovery in the Euro zone remains on track, with growth expected to accelerate later this year. The Commission expects the Euro zone’s economic growth to remain around 2%, despite the impact of higher oil prices. Strong acceleration in investment expenditure coupled with a gradual pick-up in private consumption will support economic growth. In addition, a recovery in private consumption can be expected if employment prospects in the Euro zone brighten further.
