European investor confidence dropped for the first time in four months in April as the debt crisis damped economic growth, the Sentix research institute said.
An index measuring sentiment in the 17-nation euro area declined to minus 14.7 from minus 8.2 in March, Limburg, Germany-based Sentix said in an e-mailed statement today. A gauge of expectations dropped to minus 9.3 from minus 2.3, while a measure of current conditions fell to minus 20 from minus 14.
