ECB cuts interest rates across Europe

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The European Central Bank steps in to kick-start the economies of the eurozone's seventeen member states, cutting interest rates to an all-time low after continued sluggish growth. We have reports from Slovakia and Spain, looking at how these countries are weathering the slow-down. Also, one of the world's most famous football clubs, Manchester United, reports commercial success despite being saddled with debt. And we hear from Malaysia, in the run-up to this weekend's hotly contested general election.
