  The European Union and Eurozone present an inquisitive case of strongly
interconnected network with high degree of dependence among nodes. This
research focused on investment network of European Union and its major trading
partners for specific time period 2001 to 2014. The changing investment
patterns within Eurozone suggest strong financial and trade links with central
and large economies. This study is about the association between portfolio
investment and economic indicators with respect to financial networks. The
analysis used the strongly connected investment network of Eurozone and its
large trading partners. A strong correlation between, increasing or decreasing
investment patterns with economic indicators of particular economy was found.
Interestingly correlation patterns for network members other than Eurozone
states were not as strong and depicted mild behavior. This as well, explains
the significance of interconnectedness level among nodes of one network with
varying centrality measures. Investment network visualization techniques helped
to validate the results based on network`s statistical measures.
