The euro-zone economy's recovery from its long slump lost its momentum in the third quarter, compounding fears that Europe could get mired in a "lost decade" of stagnation, joblessness and political discontent.It will keep getting worse until it all comes crashing down.However, France and Italy, the bloc's next-biggest economies after Germany, both suffered small contractions. Italy's was the ninth quarterly GDP drop in a row. France's was a setback for its embattled Socialist President François Hollande, who is struggling to overhaul a limping economy and overcome fears of national decline.
"France is still stuck in a vicious circle of disinvestment, unemployment and zero growth," said Marc Touati, economist at French business consultancy ACDEFI.
French companies' declining competitiveness has been in the spotlight in recent weeks, with small and large firms—from engineering giant Alstom SA to France's only piano maker Ateliers Pleyel—unveiling plans for layoffs.
Many Italian businesses are hurting even more. In the property market of Tuscany "there's basically no activity at all, regardless of price," says Alessio Colomeiciuc, chairman of local lender Caripit.
Italian industrial output has fallen by a quarter since before the crisis, and many survivors have had to cut jobs and prices.
No it won't.
If you think it will, then your opinion is irrelevant as you have zero understanding of how markets function over time.
You're either being deliberately disingenuous (funnily enough, a word that I often use to describe your comments), or you're ignorant - neither of which is a particularly good basis for your arguments.
while most british people are not likely to buy that sort of thing, certain areas in the UK, mostly the south east and midlands have a high north african / middle eastern community that might be interested, but im not totally sure how the market for that sort of stuff is.
where i live theres a large immigrant population and theres lot of furnature shops around that sell a mix of normal furniture, and that stuff you sell, i think if you was just going for one market you wouldn't last that long.
For that kind of business, France or Britain. They can't get enough middle-easterners.
NOT France. Hard work won't kill you, but in France its actually illegal.
If a fat kid falls in the forrest and no one is around do the trees laugh?You're an insignificant speck of a person sitting on an insignificant speck of a world orbiting an insignificant speck of a star in an insignificant speck of a galaxy. Literally, no one cares what you think.
Greece huehuehuehue.
Pick Germany. We have a huge minority consisting of turkish/arabian ethnicity so your will be able to sell your goods on top of having top craftsmen available, since the education in these fields is pretty good. And you'll have the odd rich guy spending money on crap that he doesn't need because we're all filthy rich, unlike other countries.
