3 of the world’s top 4 economies are suffering
|London (CNN Business)The global economic slowdown is happening and could spread to the United States next year.
The economies of Germany and Japan shrank in the third quarter, according to data published Wednesday, providing a sharp contrast to another quarter of strong US growth. In China, there are signs of a deepening economic malaise.
The reasons for the weak performance are varied, and economists believe that both Germany and Japan will dodge recessions by returning to growth soon. But the data underscore the major challenges faced by many of the world’s largest economies.
