The Greek debt crisis has spread to Spain and Portugal as markets test whether Europe will shore up monetary union. 04 Feb 2010 Greek debt markets under fresh assault after a commission of experts tells the country's parliament it has uncovered €40bn of "hidden debts". 02 Feb 2010 Key members of the European Parliament are drawing up plans to whittle away Britain's power to veto decisions by the EU's new apparatus of financial super regulators, a move that may leave the City of London without defence against threatening proposals. 02 Feb 2010 Germany faces a terrible dilemma. Either Europe's paymaster agrees to underwrite a Greek bail-out and drops its vehement opposition to a de facto EU economic government, treasury, and debt union, or the euro will start to unravel, and with it Germany's strategic investment in the post-war order. 31 Jan 2010 Germany triggers flight from southern European debt markets, warning there will be no EU bail-outs. 28 Jan 2010 December was the worst month for US unemployment since the Great Recession began. 10 Jan 2010 Japan has appointed its sixth finance minister in eighteen months and opted for yet another high-stakes shift in economic strategy, this time ditching its strong-yen policy and reverting to fiscal largesse in hopes of pulling the country out of deflationary perma-slump. 08 Jan 2010Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
