EU's Almunia says higher growth possible in Europe if more confidence UPDATE (Updates with comments on public finances)
BRUSSELS (AFX) - EU economic and monetary affairs commissioner Joaquin Almunia said the European economy could grow more rapidly than it is currently, but it requires greater investor and consumer confidence

"I think we can grow more in the current circumstances in the European Union," Almunia told the European Parliament

"That of course requires increasing consumer and investor confidence, because I think the objective conditions are there. They are in place," Almunia said. He called on member states to maintain "sound public finances"

Almunia said there is a consensus in Europe that improving the quality of public finances, maintaining budgetary discipline and implementing structural reforms are a prerequisite for boosting growth and jobs
