For the first time...

...there is a negative flow in the purchase of Eurozone debt from foreign investors since the start of the euro. The total net outflows of investment capital from the Eurozone debt securities amounted to €192 billion in 2016, up from €30 billion in purchases during 2015.


Most of the net sales have been government debt (116 billion euros). The non-euro area investors still invested in euro-equities but much less than in 2015 (from 268B to 126B).
