If it is just a matter of classification, then why would part of the problem lie on lack of private investment, when private savings are invested by the banks themselves ?

I think a big a part is that a lot of EU money is invested in the US instead, and I am looking forward for that to stop..

There’s a whole lot of regulation around the types of investment a bank can make with the money. Most of it has to be low risk mortgages, loans and high quality bonds.
