Top 10 Indian Leaders in Europe - 2022

Comprising of 27 markets, the European Union operates as a single market allowing the free movement of goods, capital, services and people between member states.  In terms of economic growth, the European Union has grown in significant figures and at the fastest pace over the decade, excluding the recent COVID times. However, adding to it the present Ukraine's war is hitting hard the European economy. However, with globalization and stronger competition from emerging countries, Europe has been relying on its industrial base rather services and banking sector alone. Also, research and innovation play a key role in developing the technologies and approaches to ensure Europe's manufacturing future.

Croatia's economy was expected to have grown by 10.2 percent, with the economy of Malta growing the third-fastest at 9.4 percent. However, the trends in business suggests a general behavior among companies, and the growth is expected to be slow but gradual facing inflation in prices of food and energy sources.
