The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for the Euro Area rose 0.1 percent in February to 111.1 (2004=100), following a 1.4 percent increase in January and a 0.3 increase in December 2013.
"This month's reading of the Leading Economic Index for the Euro Area suggests that we are leaving the rebound effects from the recession behind us, and that the pace of growth may not accelerate further," said Bert Colijn, Senior Economist at The Conference Board.
