Show Notes
We look at the issues facing two of Europe’s major economies.
Germany’s downturn has deepened with existential fears about its major export industries. And now, political turmoil means industry leaders are calling for a snap election as soon as possible.
Meanwhile in France, there is weak growth as consumers feel poorer and politicians can’t agree on spending.
