Total Capital Invested ($US Millions) Value of Technology Investments – Analysis
Despite a strong upswing through the first
three quarters of the year, the performance
in Europe actually represents a 13%
year on year decrease. A strong level
of investment in both DACH and Southern Europe is somewhat
overshadowed by poor performances throughout the rest
of the continent.
The picture in North America is far more positive, with the surge
in investment in the final quarter representing the best fourth
quarter performance since the Calibre One Index began in 2003.
Indeed, a 43% increase in the value of investments between
Q3 and Q4 suggests that the low level of investment in Q3
was something of a blip, and that 2010, from a North
American perspective, represents a very real improvement in the
investment landscape.
