Prices are easing in the textile, clothing and construction industries, but most German economists expect prices and wages to remain steady. ¶France, traditionally slow to react to economic fluctuations in the rest of the world, is still fighting inflation. While production is increasing at a rate of 9% annually, prices are still rising. Biggest concern: the government's battle to keep the budget deficit...
