Following an entirely different investment model than the UK is what they’re doing. Sadly for years the UK has been saddled with long hours, low productivity and an excessively cautious attitude to investment.

Bear in mind however that there are differing industrial policies within EU-27 countries and industrial policy isn’t an area of EU competence so these statistics really only serve to obfuscate rather than illuminate. Within the Eurozone you will find some countries doing wildly better than others (I’ll take a stab in the dark and say Germany is probably doing very well here).
