Eurozone sets bleak record of longest term in recession – FT.com.
Personally, I think two actions are urgently required:

- Aggressive stimulus from the ECB, like the Fed and the BoE.
Sadly, I fear that German Chancellor Angela Merkel‘s government will continue to veto remedial actions, certainly until the election September.
Any thoughts?
