How much is the Catholic Church worth?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

As Pope Francis begins his tenure as head of the Catholic Church, we ask what shape the institution's finances are in. Also Samsung unveils its latest smartphone, the Galaxy S4 - we ask whether it can win over lovers of the iPhone, sold by Samsung's bitter rival Apple. Plus Renault comes up with a plan to stay competitive as sales for the French car firm drop and Spanish homeowners struggling to avoid repossession are thrown a lifeline by the European Court of Justice.
