Worst collapse in UK manufacturing in four decades

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/4966992/Worst-collapse-in-UK-manufacturing-in-four-decades.html

The UK seems to still be ahead of the US in term of impact from the downturn.


In figures labelled by analysts as “shocking” and “a horror show”, Britain’s industrial production dived at record speed, underlining how hard the global downturn has hit producers and exporters. The statistics are doubly surprising because many economists had expected the weakness of the pound over the past year to have boosted their fortunes.


Big problems and little solutions.
