The Countries Hardest Hit by the Eurozone Crisis

Business Daily

Available for over a year

With the Eurozone recovery stalling, we take a health-check on the countries hardest hit by the bloc's economic crisis - Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain - dubbed the PIIGS by economists. Our reporters offer snapshots from each of the five countries trying to revive their economies and get their government finances in shape, and there's analysis from Paola Subacchi, from London think-tank Chatham House.
