The eurozone business investment rate was nearly stable at 21.7 percent in the third quarter of 2014, according to data released by Eurostat, the statistical office of European Union, and the European Central Bank.

It's the first time Eurostat has published early quarterly European sector accounts data, focusing on selected euro area non-financial transactions.

The figure was the same as the first quarter of 2014 and 0.1 percent higher than the second quarter of 2014.
