US Recovery On Course

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The world's largest economy is steadily recovering - so the US central bank is taking off the stabilising wheels. We ask if the US is ready to run the course on its own without extra stimulus. Meanwhile there's a row in Denmark over Goldman Sachs buying a large chunk of Denmark's largest energy firm, DONG Energy - protestors believe the company should remain 100% Danish owned and are worried over Goldman's links with tax havens. Also, we speak to the chief executive of drinks giant Diageo on selling to emerging markets. And from Africa, Tamasin Ford updates us from the commercial capital of Ivory Coast. (Image: Getty)
