World Economic Forum Video: Unlocking Europe's Potential
Two recent landmark reports on the European Union's economy paint an unforgiving picture of its vulnerabilities, suggesting the region faces the prospect of "slow agony". At current productivity and demographic trends, Europe's economic output is forecast to be the same in 2050 as it is today. With much of the power to correct course residing in national capitals, what will it take for leaders to rise to the challenge?

Business Video: Top Trump economic adviser downplays small business worries about tariffs
US inflation slowed to its lowest rate in more than four years, an unexpected and welcome development at a time when President Donald Trump’s dramatically escalated tariffs are expected to cause prices to rise.
Consumer prices rose 0.2% last month, bringing the annual inflation rate to 2.3%, an unexpectedly cooler reading than the 2.4% increase seen in March, according to the latest Consumer Price Index data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It’s the lowest annual rate since February 2021, and the April data was slightly better than expected. Economists expected that the CPI would rise 0.3% from March and hold steady at 2.4% for the 12 months ended in April, according to FactSet. #CNN #News
