| | | | From the Heart of Europe | 27.10.2011 | 14:00 UTC | | | |  | A eurozone deal on Greek debt and the EU's emergency fund, cemented in the wee hours of Thursday morning, has given markets and the euro a healthy boost. Banks are cautiously optimistic.  | | | | |  | A new study by professional services group PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) shows that while the number of finance-related crimes in Germany has fallen, the total financial damage they inflict on businesses has risen. | | | | |  | Brussels is considering new laws to force both privately owned and publicly listed oil, gas and mining companies to report all payments to foreign governments. Anti-corruption groups say the regulations are long overdue. | | | | |  | European editorial writers have largely welcomed the outcome of Wednesday's crucial EU summit. But many have warned that a Greek debt haircut may not be enough to solve Europe's spiraling financial crisis. | | | | |  | The expectations from the two EU summits in the past four days were high. But on Thursday - after a long, long night of negotiations the leaders have come out with a handful of concrete results. | | | | |  | Leaders at the EU summit have reached a comprehensive deal to combat the eurozone debt crisis. DW's Christoph Hasselbach says there is now hope the crisis is truly being tackled. | | | | |  | Europe's top politicians and banking officials have worked through the night in Brussels, seeking a string of deals on Greece, sovereign debt and bank recapitalization. A plan with at least three prongs has emerged. | | | | |  | The world's population continues to grow, mainly due to strong growth in Asia and Africa, but this isn't the case everywhere. Europe's population is shrinking – and getting older. | | | | |  | A late agreement reached in Italy on pension reform gives Prime Minister Berlusconi some sign of progress to take with him to Wednesday's EU summit. But the work in Rome is far from over. | | | | | |  | | | © 2011  | | | |
