LONDON, Sept 9 (Reuters) – Poor U.S. job figures for August
make it more likely that the Federal Reserve will take out extra
insurance this week against an economic relapse by plumping for
fresh monetary stimulus.

With Chinese growth slowing markedly and the euro zone mired
in recession, the United States is resuming its traditional role
as a motor – though not a high-powered one – for the global
economy.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – No matter who comes out on top in next week’s election, the Netherlands will find it hard to revive the practice of economic policymaking by consensus that has been one of the secrets of the country’s prosperity.

From fast-rising health care costs to the need for greater labour flexibility as the population ages, the Netherlands faces a host of challenges beyond Europe’s current cyclical slowdown if it is to maintain its competitiveness.

LONDON, July 29 (Reuters) – Mario Draghi may not need to
show his money this week, but impatient markets will be
unforgiving if the European Central Bank chief does not flesh
out his dramatic promise to do whatever is needed to save the
euro.

Given the threat that the long-running euro zone crisis

meeting and subsequent news conference were always going to be
important.

LONDON (Reuters) – As talk persists that cash-strapped Greece might have to exit the euro, and bond markets panic over Spain, the fate of Europe’s single currency could soon be hanging in the balance again.

LONDON (Reuters) – Bleak news on confidence and growth underlined the parlous state of Europe’s economy on Monday, triggering a sharp fall in share prices and a spike in Spanish bond yields as investors fretted anew about the future of the euro.

The single currency slid to a two-year low against the dollar and a near 12-year trough against the yen after surveys showed the troubles of the 17-nation currency bloc are making consumers even more wary than economists had expected.

LONDON, July 22 (Reuters) – “Faster, Higher, Stronger” is
the motto of the Olympics opening in London on Friday. “Slower,
Lower, Weaker” would be a better description of the economic
performance of many of the countries competing in the games.

None of the big names will look worthy of a place on the
podium if forecasts for a raft of data due this week from the
euro zone, the United States and Britain prove accurate.
