Play Video: Rising to the challenge: Europe’s path to growth and resilience

Export markets are shrinking, uncertainty is undermining firms’ willingness to innovate, and public expenditure needs are rising. Without a turnaround in growth, Europe’s ability to deliver on its social welfare promises is in jeopardy. If European policymakers were to seize the moment, the region’s growth potential and resilience to shocks could rise substantially.

Tesla reported another record sales plunge Wednesday, as brand damage from CEO Elon Musk’s political activities and increased competition continued to batter the once fast-growing electric car maker.
