The Swiss Dilemma

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Why the high value of the Franc is spelling disaster for some Swiss companies. We also look at Andalucia, a region of Spain still stuck in the financial doldrums seven years after the crisis began. Moroccan rapper El Haqed talks openly about lack of freedom and high levels of corruption in his country. It has cost him three spells in prison and a ban on performing live in Morocco. Yesterday, he won an Index on Censorship freedom of speech award in London. He speaks to the programme about his experiences. Plus, the Faroe Islands have suddenly become a tourist hot spot ahead of tomorrow's eclipse - but will they be able to cope with all the visitors? From Singapore, we are joined by Nisad Hajari Asia editor for Bloomberg View and from Toronto, by Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network.
