ECB's Issing says euro zone to benefit from strong global recovery
Thursday, May 27, 2004 9:45:07 AM

PASSAU, Germany (AFX) - European Central Bank chief economist Otmar Issing said the euro zone will participate in the strong global economic recovery currently underway, even though it is currently lagging behind other regions

He said the world economy is experiencing strong and robust growth

"The euro zone will take part in this positive development," he said in a speech

Strong global demand will clearly boost euro zone and German exports, despite the loss of competitiveness which resulted from the appreciation of the euro, he said

"Thanks to the major impulse coming from foreign trade, the economic situation has clearly improved," said Issing

But he said domestic demand continues to stagnate
