    Except not really. There's more chance all markets crash in the same day before Europe goes down the drain.

    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.
    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.
    It will keep getting worse until it all comes crashing down.

    Do you ever have anything positive to say, about anything at all?

    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.

    The thing is that I am worried that these countries arent open to these certain types of furniture.( Is there any Scandinavian that would like to have one of these) they aren't pricy

    Any country with shitty immigration laws will do then.
    Take ur pick:

    Holland
    Belgium
    Sweden
    Finland
    Germany
    France
    Luxemburg

    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.

    UK. Once all the Roma people from Romania and Bulgaria leave, they'll move there and they love that kind of stuff!

    Also Spain and Portugal.

    The publically funded housing for the Roma will likely have furniture already.

This means that people no longer have the purchasing power to buy my product :/

    I was wondering if there is a country in Europe with good growth rates in GDP, good tax rates for foreign businesses and a good furniture industry. I would really appreciate your help

    Here is a picture of it http://maoint.com/maoint/gallery/web...images/011.jpg this version isnt on the ground and has a modern feel
    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.

    You belive everything you read right?

    Truth is, that the EU is doing better than it was just a year ago, it's not 2004, but it's still alot better, and we don't put our economy in a gamble because of some obamacare reform protest every 6 months.

    The truth is that most economies are struggling and there is no way to fix the situation. The risk of a Japan style deflation scenario grows every day and that will be the catastrophic blow to the European economy.

    Do you have any evidence of that?

    It's almost as if your spout your economically ignorant nonsense from jealousy of first world nations...it's the national equivalent of hating people who are successful, due to being a failure at life yourself.

    There is plenty of evidence. The 0.1 contraction in France, the Rising unemployment in Italy, the fact that US volture firms are buying up Spain and Greece for cents on the dollar, etc.
