Sentix's index for the euro zone rose to -12.9 points in
February from -15.8 in January, above a reading of -15.0
estimated in a Reuters poll of analysts.
Germany, the region's largest economy, remains a drag on the
region, Sentix said, pointing to a persistent economic crisis in
the country.
"The recovery process is proceeding slowly," Sentix said, adding
the situation in Germany was "precarious".
For the euro zone, the expectations index rose to -5.5 points in
February from -8.8 points in January, a fifth consecutive month
of improvement and the highest value since February 2023.
The index on the current situation in the euro zone also rose to
-20.0 in February from -22.5 in January, the fourth monthly
increase in a row.
The poll of 1,306 investors was conducted between Feb. 1 and
Feb. 3.
