The OECD is expecting global growth of just 1.4 per cent. It also says the Eurozone will stay into recession well until 2013 and it's calling on faster reforms to banking¹ systems and jobs growth.

 

 

 

“This is meant to be a massive wake-up call. A call to go structural², to go social, not to neglect the victims of the crisis.

We need bold, courageous⁵ decisions.”
