London loses position as most valuable European stock market
- rhaway84773 4y agoThe BBC still dares not mention the B word which is a symptom of the kind of cowardice that led to the B word in the first place. The inability to call a spade a spade because the Tories might cut their funding (which they would do anyways).
- samspenc 4y agoJust want to confirm we are talking about "Brexit" here right?
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoIt’s either that or Boris. Your choice.
- azalemeth 4y agoQuite. I just don't understand why there's this collective delusion about the most backwards and stupid vote in living memory.
- redanddead 4y agoI dislike that the shenanigans in the UK affect Canadian politics so much
- vr46 4y agoThe BBC has legitimate reasons to be afraid and they're historically an organization that reacts in this way. The approach of BBC Westminster has tainted the reminder of the organization.
- Jeffwoo 4y ago'Brexit' is mentioned 3 times in the article.
- yakak 4y agoI found it a bit puzzling that France was the other economy. Given that Germany is actually higher in terms of GDP its hard to tell what this really means. There's always been more pessimism for future returns of German companies and/or much more of the German economy isn't in public stocks? Or is it simply that Germany has more markets so the US in these comparisons would be separating NYSE and Nasdaq?
- Kukumber 4y agoOne betting on economy of tomorow One betting on economy of yesterday Wich was future proof? Both still import massively from foreign countries, but Germany will face more problems due to energy shortages The US always wanted to weaken Germany, so pushing France was always the most favorable option anyway
- yakak 4y agoIf forcing Germany to invest in energy independence is going to weaken it, I have to wonder why forcing China to rely on industrial investment hasn't made it less competitive.
- simne 4y agoAll depends, on speaking about short term perspective or long term. But German economy is so much tied to export, and their politics so much depend on public opinion, so any step leading to short term weaken of current tops, considered as hostile.
- Tarsul 4y agoI mean the German GDP is significantly higher than French GDP, so I think the main point is that a lot of good German companies are simply not listed (read: many Mittelstand companies). But there's probably a lot more to untangle (e.g. the German public is not as invested in stocks as in other countries etc.).
