Struggling to keep moving

Sep 25th 2008 | FRANKFURT AND PARIS
From The Economist print edition
The financial meltdown may be happening mainly in America, but Europe is starting to feel the heat

THOSE who hoped Europe might escape Wall Street’s woes were sorely disappointed this week. Not only did markets slide across the continent, with bank shares especially hard-hit, but also a purchasing managers’ index for the euro area fell to its lowest since 2001, and three business-confidence indicators were unexpectedly weak. The figures suggest that a recession may even have begun already. The questions are how deep it will be, and how long it will last. And the answers will depend heavily on the two biggest economies: Germany and France.
