European investor confidence rose to a seven-month high in February after the European Central Bank’s liquidity measures soothed credit-crunch concerns, the Sentix research institute said.

An index measuring sentiment in the 17-nation euro area increased to minus 11.1 from minus 21.1 in January, Limburg, Germany-based Sentix said in an e-mailed statement today. A gauge of expectations surged to minus 6.3 from minus 23.5, while an indicator for current conditions rose to minus 15.8 from minus 18.8.
